PC Software and Teaching Pendant Models
New functions have been added to the entire PCON 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 RCP2 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.

Recommendation for Backing up Latest Data
This product 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 a given reason.
The data can be backed up using the following methods:
[1]
Save to a CD or FD from the PC software.
[2]
Create a position table sheet or parameter sheet and keep a written record of backup.
