ACON controllers can be used in an environment of pollution degree 2 or equivalent.

2. Models of Teaching Pendants and PC Software

New functions have been added to the whole ACON Controller Series.
Since the communication protocol is accordingly changed to the general Modbus method (compatible), the

3. Recommendation for Backing Up Latest Data

This controller uses nonvolatile memory to store the position table and parameters. Normally the memory
will retain the stored data even after the power is disconnected. However, the data may be lost if the
nonvolatile memory becomes faulty.
We strongly recommend that the latest position table and parameter data be backed up so that the data can
be restored quickly when the controller must be replaced for any other reason.
The data can be backed up using the following methods:
[1]

Save to a storage medium such as a hard disk using PC software.

[2]

Handwrite the position table and parameter table on paper.
