INSTALLING HMI DRIVER

Typically when plugging in a HMI into the computer for the first time (via USB) or
a new HMI series, the PC will attempt to install a driver for it. Often times the PC
will not know where to go and retrieve the driver so it will install a PNX Bulk Device
driver, which is incorrect.

If the developer attempts to download the program to the HMI (via USB) without
updating the driver, they will receive a USB handle failed to open error. This error
message indicates that the HMI is not powered on or the wrong driver was in-
stalled.

INSTALLING HMI DRIVER
To load the proper driver for the HMI we must first find the HMI on the Device
Manager. Since we already know that the wrong driver was loaded we must now
look for a LibUsb-Win32 Devices drop down menu, which should contain a PNX
Bulk Device. Typically the wrong driver that is loaded for the HMI is the PNX Bulk
Device but if no such driver exists, we need to get a tad creative. If the PNX Bulk
Device driver does not exist: unplug the HMI unit, wait a few seconds and plug the
HMI back in, while keeping your eye on the Device Manager to locate the device
that has just been added. This new device will be the driver that must be updated.

Once the faulty HMI driver is located we can continue to load the proper Kinco HMI
USB Driver. Right click on the PNX Bulk Device and select Update Driver Soft-
ware.

INSTALLING HMI DRIVER
On this screen you are given the option to either let Windows search for the correct
driver ( which it proved it could not do the first time) or to browse your computer for
the correct driver. Select Browse my computer for driver software.

Here we want to select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

INSTALLING HMI DRIVER

If the Kinco HMI USB Driver has been loaded before, this screen will typically list it
and if so we can simply select it and click next. If we have never loaded the Kinco
HMI USB Driver than we must select Have Disk.

Select the Browse button to locate the Kinco HMI USB Driver.

INSTALLING HMI DRIVER

Typically the Kinco HMIware software installs directly onto the C: drive. So if the
default settings were kept the bulkusb.inf driver should have the following file path,
C:\Kinco\Kinco HMIware v2.2\driver. Once you have navigated to the driver direc-
tory select the bulkusb.inf file and click open.

Verify that the proper directory is listed and select OK.

If the bulkusb.inf file was selected correctly in the previous step the following
screen should list Kinco HMI USB. Select the Kinco HMI USB driver and click
Next.
