Dongles are small devices that plug into a computer’s USB port and enable the use of certain software programs. Rockwell Automation dongles allow users to transfer programs and data between computers, as well as providing an extra layer of security against unauthorized access. Here’s a quick guide on how to use Rockwell Automation dongles.
First, connect the dongle to the computer’s USB port. If you’re using a Windows-based computer, you’ll likely see a popup asking if you want to install the drivers for the dongle. Allow the installation and follow any prompts that appear.
Once the drivers are installed, the dongle will be recognized by the computer and you’ll be able to use the software that it’s associated with. To transfer programs or data, simply open the program on the source computer and follow the instructions for transferring the file(s) to the destination computer.
And that’s all there is to using Rockwell Automation dongles! As you can see, they’re pretty simple devices that can be extremely helpful in a variety of situations. If you have any questions about using your dongle, be sure to consult the Rockwell Automation website or your dongle’s documentation.
