Introduction
This chapter describes general information about setting up the basic
OpenNet Controller
system for programming, start-
ing and stopping
OpenNet Controller
operation, and introduces simple operating procedures from creating a user program
using
WindLDR
on a computer to monitoring the
OpenNet Controller
operation.
Connecting OpenNet Controller to PC (1:1 Computer Link System)
The
OpenNet Controller
can be connected to an IBM PC or compatible computer in two ways.
Computer Link through RS232C Port 1 or Port 2
When connecting a Windows computer to the RS232C port 1 or port 2 on the
OpenNet Controller
CPU module, enable the
maintenance mode for the RS232C port.
To enable the maintenance mode for the RS232C port 1, set the DIP switch 2 to OFF.
To enable the maintenance mode for the RS232C port 2, set the DIP switch 3 to OFF.
To set up a 1:1 computer link system, connect a computer to the
OpenNet Controller
using the computer link cable 4C
(FC2A-KC4C).
Computer Link through RS485 Port
When connecting a Windows computer to the RS485 port on the
OpenNet Controller
CPU module, enable the mainte-
nance mode for the RS485 port.
To enable the maintenance mode for the RS485, set the DIP switch 1 to OFF.
To set up a 1:1 computer link system, connect a computer to the
OpenNet Controller
using the computer link cable 6C
(FC2A-KC6C). An AC adapter is needed to supply 5V DC power to the RS232C/RS485 converter on the computer link
cable 6C. For the applicable output plug of the AC adapter, see page A-5.
