1.2 Notation Conventions
Window titles, menu items, and the labels on keys and pushbuttons are shown in bold UPPER CASE type.
Text that the user types in, comp u ter responses, and example text are shown in constant width type.
The term pushbutton refers to video buttons with a three-dimensional appearance; selecting such buttons
via the cursor positioning device (mouse or trackball) or keyboard causes them to appear "pushed in".
Many of the windows which appear on the 53MT6000 system contain buttons labelled OK, CANCEL and
CLOSE. The OK button is used to save data and close the window in which it appears. The CANCEL button is used when data is not to be saved, and the current window closed. The CLOSE button is used when
there is no data to be saved, and the current window is to be closed (except in the case of dialog pop-up
windows, which are closed using an OK button).

3.0 INSTALLATION
Micro-Tools is composed of several hardware and software components integrated into a base personal
computer (PC). This section provides information on installing these hardware and software components.
Some of the instructions for this installation will be included with the hardware or software components and
are not addressed in this Installation and Setup Guide. The installation order of these component s is significant, and should be done in the following sequence:
1. Set up the base PC. (See Section 3.1.)
2. Verify that the base PC is running the Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP
Professional operating system. If the operating system is not already installed on the base PC,
install it at this time. (See Section 3.2.)
3. Install the optional Micro-DCI network interface board(s). This (or these) can be either a
DataLink Supervisor board, MicroLink Supervisor board, or a Red undant MicroLink Supervisor
board pair. Like the PC serial communications ports, Supervisor boards enable multiple
instruments to be networked together and connected to this base PC.
4. Install the hardware key. (See Section 3.3.1.)
5. Connect the Micro-DCI instruments to base PC. (See Section 3.3.2.)
6. Verify that Windows 2000 Professional Workstation or Windows XP Professional Workstation
has been properly configured to run Micro-Tools.
7. Install the Micro-Tools software. (See Section 3.4.)
3.1 Setting Up the Base PC
Connect all peripheral hardware units to the base PC, including the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CDROM unit (if it is an external CD-ROM reader). Connect the base PC and all peripheral units to a power
source. See the instructions that are included with the PC for setting up these components.
Section 2.1 lists the minimum hardware requirements. Verify that all of the hardware components of the
base PC meet or exceed these hardware requirements. You can refer to the base PC's documentation to
verify these hardware requirements.
3.2 Verifying/Installing Windows® Workstation Software
Micro-Tools requires that the base PC is running Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professiona l
Workstation.
Note also that each of these versions of the Windows operating system is available in two different types: a
Workstation Version and a Server Version. Micro-Tools requires Windows Workstation software.
3.2.1 Verifying Version of Windows Workstation
Follow these steps to determine which version of Windows Workstation is running on the base PC:
• Locate the icon labeled My Computer on the Windows Desktop. With the mouse, right-click

3.3 Hardware Installation
3.3.1 Installing the Hardware Key
A Hardware Key is supplied when one of the standalone versions of Micro-Tools is specified in the model
number (refer to Section 1.3).
The Micro-Tools software is licensed by MicroMod Automation Inc. The license is protected by a hardware
key (see Figure 3-3), which must be attached to the PC's parallel port. The hardware key does not interfere
with the operation of the parallel port. When installed, the hardware key provides a fe male connector allow-
6 Installation
53MT6000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ing a parallel device to be attached to it. If a device (for example, a printer) is alr eady connected to the pa rallel port, remove the parallel cable connector, connect the hardware key to the port, and reconnect the
cable to the hardware key. Signals to and from the attached parallel device will be passed through the
hardware key. The hardware key must be installed for the Micro-Tools software to run.
Figure 3-3. Hardware Key for Use with Micro-Tools System Software
Installation of Micro-Tools software and licenses (Section 3.4) can proceed if the hardware key is not
attached; however, the Micro-Tools application will not start. Instead, a pop-up window will be displayed
which states:
Can't read hardware key.
Key must be attached to parallel port.
If the wrong hardware key is attached to the parallel port, a pop-up window will display the following message:
No valid Micro-Tools software license found.
If problems reading the hardware key persist, test the operation of the parallel port. This can be done by
attaching a printer to the port and attempting to print to it.
3.3.2 Connecting Micro-DCI Instruments to the Base PC
The connection necessary for this communication can be made in one of several ways:
• The computer's COM port can be connected directly to the mini-DIN configuration port on the
front of the controller, as described in Section 3.3.2.1.
• A COM port on the computer can be connected to one or more controllers via their DataLink
port using an RS232/485 Interface Terminal Board (ITB) that converts the RS-232 signals
used by the computer's COM port to the RS-485 signals used by the DataLink instruments.
This scheme is described in Section 3.3.2.2.
• If the computer contains a DataLink SUPERVISOR card, each card can be connected to one
or more controllers via their DataLink port (refer to Section 3.3.2.3).
• If the computer contains MicroLink SUPERVISOR cards, each card can be connected to a
MicroLink peer-to-peer network. If each stan dard M i croL ink SUPERVISOR card is paired with
a Redundant MicroLink SUPERVISOR card, the computer can communicate with one or two
redundant MicroLink networks.

3.3.2.1 Connecting to a Single 53MC5 00 0 Co n trolle r
To connect a computer COM port on the computer to a single 53MC5000, all you need are:
• an available COM port on the computer
• a cable to connect the COM port with the mini-DIN configuration port on th e front of the
controller (behind the flip-down door below the display).
An appropriate cable is MicroMod Automation P/N 698B184U01. Six feet ( 1.8 m) in length, the cable has a
DIN connector on one end and a 9-pin connector on the other.
If your COM port requires a 25-pin connector, use one of these two options:
• buy an adapter locally to use the 9-pin cable
• order MicroMod Automation cable P/N 698B183U01; it has a 25-pin connector instead of a
9-pin connector
3.3.2.2 Connecting a COM Port to a DataLink Network
A COM port on the computer can be connected to a DataLink network using a special Interface Terminal
Board (ITB) (P/N 686B720U01) that converts the RS-232 signals used by the computer's COM port to the
RS-485 signals used by the DataLink instruments.
This connection scheme is illustrated in Figure 3-6. Note that this drawing shows how to connect the special RS-232/RS-485 ITB to the first 53MC5000 on the DataLink (both standard rear terminal block and
optional cord set rear connection are shown) . For de tails concerning the rest of the DataLink (which is
essentially a "daisy chain" of instruments), its termination, and suitable wire, consult the installation section
of the 53MC5000 instruction bulletin.
Note that Figure 3-6 shows a cable used to connect the ITB with a 53MC5000 having the cord se t o ption.
This cable is available in many lengths; the part numbers are shown in Table 1 of Figure 3-6.
3.3.2.3 Installing MicroLink or DataLink SUPERVISOR-PC Cards
To install the SUPERVISOR-PC cards, perform the following procedure:
1. Properly set the SUPERVISOR-PC card jumpers. All SUPERVISOR-PC cards are identical
when shipped. It is the installer's responsibility to check jumpers J3, J4 and J5; these jumpers
set the base address in the PC I/O address space. (Refer to Figure 3-2 for jumper terminal
locations and Table 3-1 on page 9 for jumper settings.)
2. Turn off power to the computer and install the cards. A maximum of four
SUPERVISOR-PC cards can be installed. Plug each card into any available ISA slot and
secure each card with a screw through its mounting bracket.
3. If a redundant MicroLink card is required, it must be installed in the slot immedi ately to the right
of the MicroLink SUPERVISOR card; connect the ribbon cable connecting the two cards into
J13.

3. The bare wire end of the 677B907 cable can be connected to the first controller's standard
rear terminal connector as shown in Figure 3-6.
If your controllers are equipped for optional rear cord sets, making this connection requires:
• The Communications ITB 686B622U01.
• A modular cable 677B943Uxx; this cable has a telephone-type modular connector on each
end. (See Table 1 in Figure 3-6 for part numbers and available cable lengths.)
If your controllers use optional cord sets, connect the bare wire end of the 677B907 cable to the terminals
on the communication ITB. Remove the resistors on the ITB as shown in Figure 3-6. Then connect a
677B943 modular cable to J1, J2 or J3 on the IT B an d to J10 o r J11 on the first instrument in the DataLink
as shown in Figure 3-6.
3.3.2.5 Connecting Micro-Tools to the MicroLink Network
