12. Establishing Host PC Communications with the Controller
Communication with a host PC is necessary to operate the controller in non-autonomous mode. Note that it is
possible to operate the controller without a host PC; however motion programs must first be saved to the
controller’s non-volatile memory.
To connect the host PC to the A-824 controller:
1. Make sure the A-824 and the host PC are connected by an Ethernet patch cable.
2.
You may need to adjust your PC’s LAN adapter settings to talk locally to the A-824. The following figure
shows suggested settings for your
PC’s LAN adapter:
