Hello, which software is needed to connect a Rexroth IndraDrive HDS02.2-W040N-H (an older model) to a laptop? I assume that due to its age, it may require compatibility with an XP laptop.
I suspect that this could be the outdated DriveTop program.
DarrylR mentioned a potential issue with the DriveTop software, indicating that the v16 version may not be compatible with a specific driver. They are seeking an older version of the software and are asking for guidance on where to find it. Additionally, they are experiencing connectivity issues with the cable. If you have any information or solutions, please share.
In order to use this software, you might have to set up a virtual machine with an older version of Windows. Please message me privately with your email address, as I think I have a previous version of the program that could work for you.
Is it possible to find someone who has the previous version of the IndraDrive for this specific project?
Hey there Mumix! To operate this drive controller, you'll need DriveTop software. I personally use DriveTop 16V14. Just a heads up - while it does have both drive controllers you mentioned, it doesn't work with older firmware. You may have to upgrade the firmware using DOLFI or switch to a previous version. Unfortunately, versions 4V05 and 11V01 won't let you locate or adjust a drive like this one. My suggestion is to stick with 16V14.
Absolutely correct, since it's an older model, compatibility can be an issue with newer systems. As per your requirement, the Rexroth IndraDrive HDS02.2-W040N-H would need the software IndraWorks from Rexroth Bosch Automation. Also, it's advisable to use an older laptop or industrial PC with a Windows XP environment as it will provide the most seamless connection for these legacy drives. Do remember to use a genuine RS232 interface for connection, as not all USB to RS232 adapters work correctly with it.
Yes, you're correct. Since the Rexroth IndraDrive HDS02.2-W040N-H is an older model, it indeed requires compatibility with an older operating system like Windows XP. For connectivity, you would need IndraWorks software from Bosch Rexroth. This software package unifies all configuration and programming tools within a common working environment, making it easier to connect and program your IndraDrive. Always remember to have the correct communication set-up and ensure you're using the appropriate interface for your laptop.
You'll likely need the Rexroth IndraWorks software suite for programming and configuring the HDS02.2-W040N-H, as it's designed to interface with older models like this one. Since you're using an XP laptop, you should also check for any necessary drivers and consider using a USB-to-RS232 adapter to ensure proper communication, as older drives typically operate through serial connections. If you can get your hands on a copy of the software and any relevant communication cables, you should be good to go!
You’ll likely need the Bosch Rexroth IndraWorks software suite or IndraTool for connecting the IndraDrive, and since it's an older model, running it on an XP laptop is a good call for compatibility. Make sure to check if you have the appropriate USB-to-serial adapter if your laptop doesn't have traditional serial ports, as that can be a common hurdle with older devices. Also, be ready to find older drivers, as they can sometimes be a bit tricky to track down!
