4.1.2.1
Communication via USB
If you connect the device to a PC for the first time, the installation of the USB driver by the
Windows operating system may take a few minutes. It is only after this has been
completed that the device will be displayed.
In case of problems, you can use the Windows Device Manager to check whether the
system has recognised the hardware and whether the driver has been loaded correctly.
If the system does not recognise the servo drive, disconnect the USB connector briefly
from the servo drive or PC and then reconnect it. As a result, the connection setup
process will be restarted.
