Observe the following precautions when using the CompoBus/D Configurator.
•
The only DeviceNet Master Units that can be handled by the CompoBus/D
Configurator are the OMRON CVM1-DRM21-V1 and C200HW-DRM21-V1.
Settings can’t be made for other companies’ Masters.
•
The CompoBus/D Configurator is connected to the CompoBus/D network as a
node. The Configurator can’t be connected to the network unless there is a
node address available.
•
Do not use the CompoBus/D Configurator in a location with too much electro-
magnetic noise. In particular, it is possible for the personal computer to run out-
of-control when a PCMCIA Card is used and affected by noise, although there
won’t be any negative effects on the CompoBus/D network even if noise
causes the personal computer to run out-of-control.
Use the PCMCIA Card Unit on a level surface, as shown in the following dia-
gram.

•
Avoid bending or pulling the cable that connects the PCMCIA Card and the
PCMCIA Card Unit.

The PCMCIA Card is a portable peripheral device. Do not leave it connected to
the network.
