Computer Link through Port 2 (RS485)
When connecting a Windows PC to port 2 on the all-in-one type CPU module or slim type CPU module, enable the main-
tenance protocol for port 2 using the Function Area Settings in WindLDR. See page 21-2 (Advanced Vol.).
To set up a 1:1 computer link system using the all-in-one type CPU module, install an optional RS485 communication
adapter (FC4A-PC3) to the port 2 connector. Connect a PC to the RS232C/RS485 converter (FC2A-MD1) using the RS232C
cable (HD9Z-C52). Connect the RS232C/RS485 converter to the CPU module using a shielded twisted pair cable. The
RS232C/RS485 converter is powered by an 24V DC source or an AC adapter with 9V DC output. For details about the
RS232C/RS485 converter, see page 21-4 (Advanced Vol.).
To set up a 1:1 computer link system using the slim type CPU module, an optional RS485 communication module (FC4A-
HPC3) is needed. The RS485 communication adapter can also be installed on the HMI base module (FC4A-HPH1).
For setting up a 1:N computer link system, see page 21-1 (Advanced Vol.).
