"5.15About the
communication
setting"
Communication environment is set for RS-232C in the front of the robot
controller. However, since this is used by the PC support software, this
normally does not need to be changed.
COMDEV
Character
string 8
This configures which lines will be assigned to COM1 and COM2 when
using communication lines in the Open instruction in MELFA BASIC V.
This parameter must be set if data link (used by the Open instruction) is
to be performed.
This parameter specifies the device that corresponds to COMn speci-
fied in the Open statement in the program (n is between 1 and 8).
Parameters are starting from the left COM1, COM2, ... , COM8 in that
order.
Note)Since the communication interface is not prepared for robot CPU
of the notes CRnQ-700 series, and the drive unit, this parameter
cannot be used.

0: For RT ToolBox (Non-procedure)
If data link is to be performed (Open, Print and Input instructions are
executed from the program) under this setting, the external device must
attach three characters "PRN" at the beginning when transmitting data.
1: For RT ToolBox (With procedure) PC side must also be changed.
2: For data link with the robot program
Be advised that under this setting, connection with the RT ToolBox can-
not be made.
