Overview
The CN1 RS232C communication connector is provided in order to make connection with host devices such as
PCs and PLCs via the RS232C. The
operation display pendant
(abbreviated as TBX, optional device) can also
be connected to this connector. Refer to Chapter 9, “Operation Display Pendant” for a description of how to use
the operation display pendant. This chapter explains how to connect the CN1 RS232C communication connector
to devices other than the operation display pendant.
In the RS232C interface, two communication modes are available. The first is a
single channel
communication
where the connection is made 1:1 with the host device, and the other is a
multi-channel
communication
where 1:N communication can be performed by connecting one host device with several of
these drivers (a maximum of nine). Please note that the connection and operation methods are different for each
communication mode.
In addition, the
PC utility
(optional) running under Windows can also be connected to the drivers via the
RS232C interface in order to support setting, operation, and maintenance work on the drivers. Refer to Chapter 8,
“DrvGII PC Utility” for a description of how to use the PC utility.
