Introduction
This chapter describes general information about setting up the basic MicroSmart system for programming, starting and
stopping MicroSmart operation, and introduces simple operating procedures from creating a user program using
WindLDR on a PC to monitoring the MicroSmart operation.
Connecting MicroSmart to PC (1:1 Computer Link System)
The MicroSmart can be connected to a Windows PC in two ways.
Computer Link through Port 1 or Port 2 (RS232C)
When connecting a Windows PC to the RS232C port 1 or port 2 on the MicroSmart CPU module, enable the maintenance
protocol for the RS232C port using the Function Area Settings in WindLDR. See page 21-2 (Advanced Vol.).
To set up a 1:1 computer link system, connect a PC to the CPU module using the computer link cable 4C (FC2A-KC4C). The
computer link cable 4C can be connected to port 1 directly. When connecting the cable to port 2 on the all-in-one type
CPU module, install an optional RS232C communication adapter (FC4A-PC1) to the port 2 connector. When connecting to
port 2 on the slim type CPU module, an optional RS232C communication module (FC4A-HPC1) is needed. The RS232C
communication adapter can also be installed on the HMI base module (FC4A-HPH1).
