2-4-3 Installing the Driver
1. Connect a USB connector on the computer with a Setup Tool port on the Digital Controller
using the Cable or Cables.
2. Obtaining the Driver
When the CX-Thermo Support Software for the Digital Controller is installed, the driver for the
USB-Serial Conversion Cable will be copied to the following folder.
C:\Program Files\OMRON\Drivers\USB\E58-CIF
3. Installing the Driver
Install the driver to enable the Cable to be used with the personal computer.
• Installation
When the Cable is connected with the personal computer, the OS will detect the product as a new device. At
this time, install the driver using the Installation Wizard.
Note1: We recommend that you install the driver for each USB port on the computer at the start. The Digital
Controller assigns a COM port number to each USB port on the computer. If the same USB port is used,
you will be able to use the same COM port number even if you use a different Cable.
2: Installation of the driver will not be completed if the installation is canceled before it is completed. Normal
communications will not be possible unless the driver is installed completely. If the driver is not installed
completely, uninstall it, and then install it correctly.
4. Setting Setup Tool Communications Conditions
Set the communications port (COM port) number to be used for the CX-Thermo Setup Tool to the COM
port number assigned to the USB-Serial Conversion Cable.
Refer to the E58-CIFQ2 USB-Serial Conversion Cable Instruction Manual and Setup Manual for details
on how to check the COM port assigned to the USB-Serial Conversion Cable.
The communications conditions for Setup Tool COM ports are fixed as shown in the table below. Set
the communications conditions for the CX-Thermo Setup Tool according to the following table
