Installing the USB Port Driver

2.12
The USB port is only used for firmware updates. USB driver files are provided as part of
upgrade packages compatible with the PNS.
With the provided installation files accessible on either a local or network drive, connect the
computer's USB port to the PAC8000 PROFINET Scanner's USB port. When requested,
direct the installation to the proper location of the installation files.
The serial port name is COM followed by the next available number from 1 to 256. After the
computer assigns the USB port a COM port number, that computer uses the same COM port
number each time it connects to that Scanner module.
During firmware upgrades, Winloader will display the COM port name followed by the serial
number of the PNS:
In this example, Winloader shows that COM34 is a PAC8000 PROFINET IO Scanner with
serial number 0015.
Note:

When connecting the USB cable to the PNS, you may receive a warning for installing
a driver that has not passed Windows Logo testing. Because each Scanner has a
different serial number, the operating system recognizes each module installation as
different.
