NOTE
Regional and Language Options (settings) other than German or English (UK) can cause problems.
Siemens strongly recommends that you switch Windows to one of the mentioned settings (Start > Control
panel > Regional and Language Options). Reasons for the problems are the different formats for numbers,
date, and time.
With the installation setup of the PowerSys software a hardware driver for the SWT 3000 PU4 CP2102 USB
to UART Bridge Controller is pre-installed in a second step. The driver is required for the connection of the
service PC to the USB interface of the SWT 3000 on PU4 module.
The installation and activation of the driver is managed automatically by the Windows hardware installation
wizard for Plug-and-Play devices with first connection of the PC to the SWT 3000. The COM-port number is
assigned automatically to the next free serial port.
