Credit Key (Usb); Laptop Computer Running Pccu32 - ABB XSeries G4 6200 User Manual

1.3.1 Credit Key (USB)

The G4 EX comes with four general credits installed in the unit. If the system
configuration requires more application credits, they can be purchased from
Totalflow's Order Entry (1-800-442-3097).
Credits (standard, general, IEC and CO2) are maintained on the credit key.
Credits can be purchased and kept on the USB credit key. The credit key is a
secure USB Flash drive (i.e., thumb drive). It cannot be written to or read by any
program other than PCCU32 7.0 or later. Credits can be added to the credit key
via a phone call to Technical Support or through email. Again, these credits are
used to run the various applications available in the G4 product line.
Credits can be transferred between the laptop and the G4 EX. If a G4 EX has
extra credits (more than required to be fully licensed), the extra credits can be
downloaded to the credit key to be used on other G4 units.

Laptop computer running PCCU32

PCCU32 software running in a laptop Windows
most capabilities for programming the G4 EX. The Windows environment features
user friendly help files and easy to follow menus.
If configured with the USB option, the laptop computer connects via the cable
directly to the connector on the side of the G4 EX. Once this physical connection
has been made, the user may begin communicating through the software.
Making a local connection to the meter may be accomplished one of three ways.
Traditionally, local connections have been made using the RS-232 PCCU cable
with the round military connector on one end and a serial port connector on the
other. The second method involves the local connection being made using a USB
cable. The third method utilizes the standard onboard Bluetooth wireless
connection. These methods are discussed below.

If the G4 controller is running an unlicensed application, that
fact is reflected in any reports generated from that
unlicensed meter. The meter will also log the fact that it is
unlicensed in the Event Log at the top of each contract day.
Unlicensed applications cause the meter to connect more
slowly.
Remove power from device, or insure the area is known to
be non-hazardous before removing any enclosure cover.
For further information, refer to the certification drawing
indicated on the device's nametag and national and local
electrical codes.
Connecting to the G4 EX meters with PCCU32 requires
version 7.05.5 or later.
