Caution
Risk of damage to the Rack PC!
The interface port may be damaged if you confuse the connections or use the
wrong connecting cables.
Make sure the TTY cable of the Rack PC is plugged into the COM 1 / TTY
port and not into the LPT 1 port.
Before inserting the connecting cables, the electrostatic charge in your body, the
device and the connecting cables must be brought to the same potential. Briefly
touch the sheet metal case to do this.
Use only original cables to establish the connection to the programmable
controller.
Connecting the Rack PC via an Adapter
The 6ES5 734-2BD20 standatd connecting cable is required for connection to a
