• 24VDC logic power applied to drive
• Drive connected to PC via RS485 interface (such as SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter)
• Drive address DIP switches configured to give an unique address for drive

Establishing connection

1. Connect PE of J4 connector to protective earth. After that wire 24 VDC power supply to Argon's J3 connector, however do not power up yet.
2. Set Argon DIP switches to give an bus address to the device.
3. Connect Argon J2.1 connector to SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter with a straight Ethernet cable and plug USB adapter to computer.
4. Power up the 24 VDC power. Some leds should start blinking at the drive (specifily LD3 and/or LD4).
5. Launch Granity software and:
   1. Go to Connect tab
   2. Ensure that SM V2 USB adapter is selected from drowdown list called Communication interface device
   3. Click Connect to drive
   4. Once list of connected drives pop up, select the one you connected and click Open

Now if everything has gone well, you should see information like drive model and serial number on the Connect tab. Connection has been successfully tested and drive may be disconnected to proceed with next setup step.

Troubleshooting

• Check if [Argon LED status indicators] are indicating an error
• Ensure that each device in the bus has unique address selected from DIP switches
• Ensure correct interface device has been selected
• Ensure that bus termination DIP setting has been turned on only on the last drive in the bus
