KS2000-Zx-USB USB cable for the connection between PC and fieldbus components The further development of PC technology and the establishment of new standards sometimes makes older technologies redundant. One example is the common serial RS232 interface, which is increasingly replaced by USB technology. In line with this development, the USB KS2000 cable is now available. The KS2000 cable establishes a connection between the fieldbus components and the PC.
It can be used for parametering Bus Terminals or Bus Couplers, local diagnostics, forcing Bus Terminal data, monitoring Bus Terminal values, updating firmware and programming Beckhoff mini PLCs via TwinCAT. The USB cable is available in two versions: KS2000-Z2-USB is used for the connection between a PC and a Bus Couplers from the BK, BC and LC series; KS2000-Z3-USB for the connection with Fieldbus Box modules. The USB cable features electrical isolation. Status LEDs indicate whether data are sent or received. On the connected PC the USB cable behaves like a COM port and can therefore be used for all Beckhoff tools using serial communication. Ordering information Description KS2000-Z2-USB connection cable for KS2000 or TwinCAT for serial conversion from USB for BK, BC, LC Couplers, length 3 m KS2000-Z3-USB connection cable for KS2000 or TwinCAT for serial conversion from USB for Fieldbus Box, length 3 m.
Dec 18, 2012 Hello, Lotus Notes 8.5.2 SP4 runs like a charm on Windows 8 Enterprise version. As mentioned previously, the real question is to IBM. May 16, 2016 Hi all, Has anyone been able to get their Lotus Notes to work on Windows 8.1 Pro, specifically on a Surface Pro 3. Photo story 3 for windows 8.1.
Mel KS2G give good advice - be careful that the Serial/USB adapter is fully compatible with your operating system. Not long ago I bought a cheapy adapter ($10) to use with my MarkV Field and new Vista computer. It works just fine with my logging program.
But when I try to run HRD, after a while I get the 'Blue Screen of Death' and an immediate reboot. Apparently, HRD works the bus pretty hard. My cheapy adapter is not fully compatible with Vista, and I can't find any driver updates for its chipset that are.
So at some point I'll have to bite the bullet and spend the $30 or so for a real adapter. The bottom line is - If your computer is running anything newer than XP (like Vista or 7), be sure to check the adapter specs carefully for compatibility before you buy. Along with the adapter, all you need is a simple straight through 9-pin serial cable.

Configuration software The KS2000 configuration software permits project design, commissioning and parameterisation of the Beckhoff Fieldbus Box modules and of the Beckhoff Bus Terminals. The connection between the fieldbus components and the PC is established via the serial or USB connection cable provided, or via the network and TCP/IP. The KS2000 configuration software for different Windows operating systems has a friendly user interface, making work comfortable and convenient.
Parameterisation The KS2000 software provides an easy way to access the parameters in the fieldbus station. Specific high-level dialogues are available for all the Bus Couplers and all the intelligent Bus Terminals as well as the Fieldbus Box modules. They can be used to modify the settings easily. It is, alternatively, possible to parameterise the fieldbus components through direct access to all the internal registers. Start-up procedure The KS2000 offers access to the process images of the fieldbus components.
In this way it is possible to monitor the input and output images of the Bus Terminals. Access to individual signal channels is additionally supported via a scope functionality, which enables, for example, a wiring test to be carried out. In addition to the serial connection, the KS2000 services are also available via the fieldbus (e.g. PROFIBUS, Lightbus, Ethernet) via ADS. Via Ethernet, the KS2000 can thus also access BC9000 Ethernet controller Bus Terminals or CX Embedded PC Bus Terminals. The settings of a complete station can be saved and reinstated on the controller if required.
