 Computer
Requirements
The LOVELINK™II application will run on both Windows™ 95/98
and Windows™ NT™ Workstation 4.0 (Service Pack 3 recommended).
The hardware requirements for each of these operating systems can
be found in the documentation provided with that operating system.
One available RS-232 or RS-485 port is needed to communicate with
the temperature control(s). A minimum of 3 MB of hard disk space
is needed for the LOVELINK™II application files, and additional
hard disk space is needed to store temperature log files. Log file
size will vary depending on the Duration and Rate selected for
the controls and the number of controls on line.
Control Requirements
The temperature controls supported by LOVELINK™II are the
Love 2600, 8600, 16A, and 32A Series (with Option 992, RS-485
Serial Communications or Option 993, RS-232 Serial Communications).
(Note:The 32A Series supports RS-485 communications only.)
Other Requirements
To communicate with controls equipped with Option 992, RS-485
Serial Communications, from an RS-232 communications port,an
RS-485 to RS-232 converter (Mother Node) is needed.The converter
models recommended are the Love Models 351, 352, and 356. For
RS-485 systems a 120-ohm resistor is also needed to terminate
the last control on the control network. Shielded twisted pair
cable is recommended for wiring the controls together.
