CAUTION
1. Use Environment
The ACON controllers can be used in an environment of pollution degree 2 or equivalent.
2. PC Software and Teaching Pendant Models
New functions have been added to the entire ACON controller series.
To support these new features, the communication protocol has been changed to the general Modbus
(Modbus-compliant) mode. As a result, the existing PC software programs and teaching pendants
compatible with RCS controllers can no longer be used.
If you are using this controller, use a compatible PC software program and/or teaching pendant selected
from the following models.

3. Recommendation for Backing Up Latest Data
This controller uses nonvolatile memory to store parameters. Although data in the memory is retained
even after the power is cut off, the stored data will be lost if the nonvolatile memory is damaged.
It is therefore recommended that you regularly back up the latest parameters in case of accidental data
loss. Regular backup will also let you restore data quickly if the controller must be replaced for other
reasons.
Use one of the following methods to back up data:
[1] Use the PC software to save the data to a CD or FD.
[2] Create a position table list or parameter list to keep a written record of parameter settings.
