    Uninstalling GML Commander


    Uninstalling GML Commander means that you remove the
    program from your computer’s hard disk. You may want to
    uninstall if you are low on disk space and you are installing a
    new version of the GML Commander program. However, you
    do not need to uninstall your current version of GML
    Commander in order to load a new version of the software.
    Each version of GML Commander is placed in its own folder,
    with the folder name being the same as the version number.
    This allows you to run multiple versions of GML Commander
    at once.

    1. From the Windows95 or Windows NT Taskbar, select the
    Start button. The Start menu appears.
    2. Select Settings.

    8 Connecting a Controller to Your PC

    Connecting a Controller to Your PC


    When you are developing your GML Commander diagram,
    your computer does not need to communicate directly with the
    motion controller. However, when you are using GML
    Commander to perform controller setup and debugging, the
    motion controller must be connected to your PC.
    An RS-232C serial link using a standard RS-232C cable allows
    communications between the PC and the stand-alone motion
    controller. RS-232C cables are available at computer stores or
    from Allen-Bradley.
    To connect a motion controller to your PC:
    1. Turn off both the PC and the motion controller.
    2. Connect the PC’s com1, com2, com3, or com4 serial port
    to Serial Port A on the motion controller.

    Note: You can use com1, com2, com3, or com4, depending


    on the system properties Port setting you defined in
    GML Commander. For more information, see Setting
    System Properties chapter in this manual. Also, refer
    to the Installation and Setup manual for your motion
    controller.
