MB3U, MB3U-I2C
BiSS TO PC-USB ADAPTER
Rev B2, Page 5/7
Instructions
Before connecting the
BiSS
adapter to the PC please make sure you have installed the latest USB driver!
Connect the adapter via the USB AB cable and start the "BiSS_xx.exe". Select the USB operating mode. The
display in the "Mode" description field should show "MB3U (MB3Z)" - the adapter is now ready to operate.
Sensor-specific settings
To set the
BiSS
Master for the sensor(s) connected to it, select
Config Slaves
and manually configure the
BiSS
parameters (data lengths, CRC polynomials, etc.) according to the sensor’s data sheet. If there is a
BiSS
device
description file from the sensor manufacturer in the working directory (iC-Haus example: "idbiss6943.xml"), you
can use
Auto Config.
You will receive a message such as
BiSS-Identifier
"Slave 1: Manufacturer iC-Haus
GmbH, Device iC-NQX2; Resolution=1024, 0 Bits period counter as sensor data!".
Configuration files
Transmission parameter settings can be stored to a *.cfg file for later use with the "BiSS_xx" software.
"Save BiSS-Master-Config" writes an
BiSS
Master Chip configuration description into a *.txt file (e. g. setup of
iC-MB3).
Main causes for errors:
• Using more than one software.
→
Please make sure that only one software is accessing the
BiSS
MB3U adapter at the same time.
• Insufficient power supply for all sensors attached.
→
The adapter will not respond if there is an overload due to the sensor(s) connected. Please use the wall
power supply.
• Invalid transmission parameter settings.
→
Please check the sensor specific
BiSS
slave parameters, such as CRC polynomial etc.
