2.1 Setup of the Connection PC – Protective Device
PowerPort-E can receive data from the protective device only after the connection has been
set up. This needs to be done only once.
The following pages present an overview of the connection setup for the various types of
protective devices.
A detailed description can be found in the PowerPort-E manual, which is available as a
separate document on the product DVD, but can also be accessed directly from the Smart
view Help menu.

device. The cables are not part of the product delivery, but can be ordered separately
from Woodward.
