Signal Names
Signal names used for FP unit RS-232C interfaces are designed to match the pin order used
on most PC serial connectors, which allows a straight cable to be used to connect the two.
Therefore, connect each FP connector pin's signal to the same signal signal on the PC side.
For example, the FP unit connector's pin #2 'RD' should be connected to the PC
connector's 'RD' terminal. Refer to the FP-2500/FP-2600 Series User Manual's "Cable
Diagrams" section for detailed signal direction information.
If a cable other than the specified RS-232C cable is used, FP unit operation
cannot be guaranteed due to the possibility of noise interference.
