1.4 Starting the Software
[1] Turn off the power to the controller and PC, and connect the controller to the PC using the standard
RS232C cable or USB cable that comes with the software.
[2] Turn on the power to the controller and PC, and start Windows.
[3] If your controller has a port switch, turn the port switch ON before starting this software.
* This software judges whether the mode is online or offline depending on whether the controller and
personal computer are connected or not. A controller equipped with a PORT switch does not operate in
the online mode even if the port switch of the controller is turned ON after this software is started. In this
case, the online mode is turned on by performing [Reconnect] (Refer to 3.1 (5) [2] [Setting of controller]).
[4] A check for connected axis appears and a check for connected axis is started. (Refer to 2. Checking for
Connected Axes).
[In the case of PCON, ACON, SCON, ERC2, ERC3, ROBONET, ASEP, PSEP, DSEP,
MSEP and MSCON]
Before the connected axis is checked, the setting of communication window (Fig. 1.45) appears, but only when
the software is started for the first time after its installation. [Refer to 1.5, “Setting of Communication Window.”]
[5] When a check for the connected axis is completed, the main window is displayed, and at the same time, a
window to select Manual operation mode shown in Fig. 1.43 is displayed.
Select the operation mode according to the purpose and press OK.
Hereinafter, select the operation mode according to the purpose of operation.
