CAUTION
Do NOT use the serial connector/cable when using an S200
SynqNet Series Drive. SynqNet cables, not a serial cable, should
be used for communication between the drive and SynqNet
motion controller. If you connect to an S200 SynqNet Series Drive
using a serial cable and select 'Serial' instead of 'SynqNet' as the
Communications Mode in the S200Tools Communication Wizard,
the drive will appear configured in the interface, but the SynqNet
Options tab will not appear under the Drive Setup options.
