CAUTION
3. PC Software and Teaching Pendant Models
This product offers new functions not available in the conventional ERC series.
To support these new functions, the communication protocol has been changed to a general Modbus-compliant
protocol. Accordingly, the PC software programs and teaching pendants that have been used with the ERC
series are no longer compatible with the ERC2 series.
Select a compatible program or teaching pendant from among the model numbers listed below.
Model number Remarks
PC software (with RS232C
communication cable)
RCM-101-MW
PC software (with USB
communication cable)
RCM-101-USB
Teaching pendant RCM-T
Simple teaching pendant RCM-E
Data setting unit RCM-P
These software programs/teaching
pedants can be used with the ERC
series.
4. Backup of Latest Data
The built-in controller of this actuator uses a nonvolatile memory to store position table data and parameters.
Normally data is retained after the power has been cut off, but stored data will be lost if the nonvolatile memory
is damaged.
Regular backup of latest position table data and parameters not only ensures that your important data is
safeguarded, but it also saves the data recovery time when a need arises to replace the controller board for
some reason.
To back up your data, do one of the following:
[1] Save the data to a CD or FD from the PC software.
[2] Create a position table sheet or parameter sheet and write down the settings.
