3.1 Instal·lació del controlador

Before connecting the cable to your computer, you must install the necessary drivers. The USB-KV cable requires a driver to simulate a traditional serial COM port on your computer, allowing compatibility with existing programming software.

1. Download the driver from the official source: m8.uxsight.com/public/a12032000ux0133.rar.
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded RAR archive.
3. Follow the instructions provided within the driver package to install the USB-KV driver on your Windows operating system. This typically involves running a setup executable or manually updating the driver via Device Manager.
4. Verify successful installation by checking Device Manager for a new COM port entry after connecting the cable.

3.2 Connexió de maquinari

Once the drivers are installed, proceed with connecting the cable:

1. Connect the USB 2.0 end of the cable to an available USB port on your personal computer.
2. Connect the RJ12 6P6C end of the cable to the programming port on your Keyence KV 16 or KV 1000 series PLC.
3. Observe the built-in indicator light on the cable's adapter module. It should illuminate, indicating power and potentially data transmission (Tx/Rx).

4. Instruccions de funcionament

After successful driver installation and hardware connection, you can use the programming cable with your PLC software.

1. Launch your Keyence PLC programming software (e.g., KV STUDIO).
2. Navigate to the communication settings or port configuration within the software.
3. Select the COM port number that was assigned to the USB-KV cable during driver installation (you can find this in Device Manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)").
4. Configure other communication parameters (e.g., baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) as required by your PLC and software. Refer to your PLC's documentation for specific settings.
5. Establish a connection to the PLC. The indicator lights on the cable's adapter module (Tx/Rx) should flash during data transmission.
6. You can now upload/download programs, monitor PLC status, and perform other programming tasks.
