The following two USB drivers must be installed on your computer to enable the computer to recognize the
1203-USB converter when using any of the configuration tools (Connected Components Workbench,
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software):
If you intend to use Connected Components Workbench software, version 2.xx or later, to configure the
converter and connected drive, these two USB drivers are automatically installed during the installation of
this software. However, if you intend to use an earlier version of this software tool or DriveExplorer,
DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software, you must manually install these two USB drivers. This
requires downloading and extracting both USB drivers to the computer, and then installing both USB
drivers. For instructions to do this, see the next two subsections.
4. Unzip the file to access the executable files for both USB drivers.
1. After connecting the 1203-USB converter to a powered drive and to the computer, the ‘Found New
Hardware Wizard’ screen should appear.

Manager treeview as shown below.
‘Allen-Bradley 1203-USB (COMx)’ should appear in the treeview. Note the COM port being used.
This COM port number will be used later to configure a driver using RSLinx software to represent the
connection on the COM port. This is required for either the Connected Components Workbench or
DriveExecutive software tool. See the PowerFlex 1203-USB Converter User Manual, publication
DRIVES-UM001, for details.
