Quick Introduction
The XCx startup described in this section can be carried out without
in-depth knowledge. In order to achieve success quickly, you have to
follow the startup steps exactly, and keep to the specified conditions
(e.g. I/O configuration).
Important subjects such as XRIO, task system and CANopen are
dealt with in more detail in later sections.

Starting up the serial connection via the RS232 interface
A connection via the serial interface is very useful when you first start
up the XCx. It is easy to get it running, and it allows you to see the first
reactions of the XCx.
Connect the cable between COM1 or COM2 on the service PC
and X7 PRG on the XCx.
