CONTROL INTERFACE
SOFTWARE PROGRAM
An optional Form 4C INTERFACE™ software program
is available to enable the control to be programmed and
operated with a personal computer. It is used to send
and receive data from the control and to provide access
to the Data Reader’s data files.
Form 4C INTERFACE software permits complete
uploading and downloading of all data stored in the con-
trol. It includes a database manager that allows the
operator to import, export, or delete data, such as con-
trol settings and data records from the database.
The software enables the user to print various reports
and provides organized menus of data including:
• all control programming parameters
• event recorder information
• load profile records
• demand metering records
• duty cycle monitor data
The software also allows the user to operate the control
directly. Form 4C controls with the Sensitive
Ground/Earth Fault feature must use KSPS2 software
DOS version 2.0 or later.
The Form 4C INTERFACE program (catalog number
KCCI-30-F4) can be used on any personal computer
with a minimum of Microsoft
®
Windows 95
®
operating
system, 16 MB of RAM, and a 266 MHz Intel
®
Pentium
®
processor.
CONTROL OPERATION WITH
A PERSONAL COMPUTER
A Data Port-to-Computer Interface Cable is available to
permit connection of a personal computer to the data
port on the front panel of the Form 4C control. The inter-
face cable consists of an EIA232-connector on one end
and a data port 9-pin connector on the other end.
The cable includes an adapter that converts low-power
Form 4C control data-port signals to an EIA232 inter-
face. This will connect directly to personal computers
with a 25-pin serial port and allows downloading of data
from the control into the computer (Figure 4).
The personal computer can also be used to upload all
control parameter settings into the control for convenient
programming. The complete set of control operating
parameters can be programmed and verified locally at
the installation site or at a remote site. Programming
data for each control is stored in the computer and can
be printed out and archived for future reference. A print-
out of each control’s program settings can also be kept
at the installation site for reference during future inspec-
tions.
