7 . Connecting the External Communication Conversion

Adapter (Option)

To perform laser welding by external communication control (RS-485 CONTROL)

by using a control unit mounting RS-232C such as personal computer, the optional

conversion adapter for external communication "RS-232C/RS-485 conversion

adopter" is required.

⇒

For making a connection to a PLC provided with RS-485, the conversion adapter
for external communication is not required.

Item required

RS-232C/RS-485 conversion adapter, RS-485 cable, and RS-232C cable

Operating Procedure

(1) Connect the RS-485 cable to the RS-485 (1) or RS-485 (2) connector of the main

unit.

(2) Connect the RS-232C cable to the RS-232C connector of the personal computer

or the like through the "RS-232C/RS-485 conversion adapter."

RS-485 Cable

RS-232C Cable

RS-232C/RS-485
