The serial cable used for this connection must be the same type of cable used for connecting the device
to a PC. For more information, refer to the device’s manual.

By preparing two Armadillo-Js, you can bridge two serial control devices over Ethernet, or create a
network communication program to control a remote device automatically. (When creating a program,
specify port number “21347” on the Armadillo-J end).
Note1: When utilizing serial communication, make sure that jumper pins are properly set according to the
Hardware Manual, Chapter 5 “Interface Specifications”.
Note2: Security measures have not been implemented. Be careful about security when utilizing serial
communication.
