■

both).
• Even if a PC is connected to console 2, it cannot
be used.
■
System example 7: Cascade connection
• You can connect and use either PC1 or PC2 (not
both), and PC3 or PC4 (not both).
• Even if there is no console, just an engine and PC
can be used as a system.
Connections
Connect the console/engine to your PC as shown in the following diagram. You can make connections in one of two
ways: serial connection or USB connection.
• When using USB connections, you must exit PM1D
Manager before you power-on/off the console/engine or
connect/disconnect cables. If you perform these actions
before exiting, communication may become impossible
until you restart your PC.
• USB connection is not guaranteed to be faster than serial
connection. Depending on your system, serial connection
may provide faster and more stable communication. If
you were able to use serial connection with previous ver-
sions, we recommend that you continue using serial con-
nection.
• When using a serial connection, only COM ports 1–9 are
supported.
