Chapter 1
Getting Started
The 1203-USB converter provides a communications interface between a computer and any Allen-Bradley product supporting these drive communication interfaces:
•DPI (Drive Peripheral Interface) for PowerFlex® 7-Class drives and PowerFlex 750-Series drives
•DSI (Drive Serial Interface) for PowerFlex 4-Class drives, PowerFlex 520-Series drives, and Kinetix 3 drives
•SCANport for legacy 1305 drives, 1336 drives, and so forth
The 1203-USB converter uses the full-duplex, RS-232 DF1 protocol.

User-Supplied Equipment
To configure the 1203-USB converter and connected Allen-Bradley drives, you must supply one of the following drive configuration software tools on your computer:
Connected Components Workbench software, version 1.02 or later
Connected Components Workbench is the recommended stand-alone software tool for use with PowerFlex drives. You can obtain a free copy by:
•Internet download at http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/ webupdate/software.html
•Requesting a DVD at http://www.ab.com/onecontact/controllers/ micro800/
Your local distributor may also have copies of the DVD available.
Connected Components Workbench software cannot be used to configure SCANport-based drives or Bulletin 160 drives. Use one of the other drive software tools listed below for this specific purpose.
DriveExplorer software, version 4.04 or later
This software tool has been discontinued and is now available as freeware at http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/ software.html. There are no plans to provide future updates to this tool and the download is being provided ‘as-is’ for users that lost their DriveExplorer CD, or need to configure legacy products not supported by Connected Components Workbench software.
DriveExecutive software, version 1.01 or later
A Lite version of DriveExecutive software ships with RSLogix 5000, RSNetWorx MD, FactoryTalk AssetCentre, and IntelliCENTER software. All other versions are purchasable items:
•9303-4DTE01ENE DriveExecutive software
•9303-4DTS01ENE DriveTools SP Suite (includes DriveExecutive and DriveObserver software)
•9303-4DTE2S01ENE DriveExecutive software upgrade to DriveTools SP Suite (adds DriveObserver software)
DriveExecutive software updates (patches, and so forth) can be obtained at http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/ software.html. It is highly recommended that you periodically check for and install the latest update.

Safety Precautions
Quick Start
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only
!personnel familiar with drive and power products and the
associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, startup, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the product using the converter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
!converter is transmitting control I/O to the drive (indicated by a
steady green Diamond status indicator), the drive may fault when you remove or reset the converter. Determine how your drive will respond before removing or resetting a connected converter.
This section is provided to help experienced users quickly start using the 1203-USB converter. If you are unsure how to complete a step, refer to the referenced chapter.

ambient atmosphere contains volatile or corrosive gas, vapors |
|
or dust. If the converter is not going to be installed for a period |
|
of time, it must be stored in an area where it will not be exposed |

Installing the USB Drivers |
The following two USB drivers must be installed on your computer to |
|
|
|
enable the computer to recognize the 1203-USB converter when using any |
|
|
of the configuration tools (Connected Components Workbench, |
|
|
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software): |
• USB Converter driver
• USB Serial Port driver
If you intend to use Connected Components Workbench software, version 2.xx or later, to configure the converter and connected drive, these two USB drivers are automatically installed during the installation of this software. However, if you intend to use an earlier version of this software tool or DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software, you must manually install these two USB drivers. This requires downloading and extracting both USB drivers to the computer, and then installing both USB drivers. For instructions to do this, see the next two subsections.
Download Both USB Drivers to the Computer
To obtain both USB drivers required for the 1203-USB converter and USB serial port, perform the following steps.
1. Go to the Allen-Bradley Web Updates website at http://www.ab.com/ support/abdrives/webupdate.
2. Click the 1203-USB link in the 7-Class or 4-Class Peripherals section.
3. Download the zip file to a unique location on your computer.
4. Unzip the file to access the executable files for both USB drivers.
Install Both USB Drivers
Most personal computers today use the Windows XP™ or Windows 7™ operating system. See the appropriate subsection below for instructions that correspond with the operating system being used.
When Using the Windows XP Operating System
1. After connecting the 1203-USB converter to a powered drive and to the computer, the ‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ screen should appear.
