CAUTION
1. Use Environment
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 PCON Controller Series.
Since the communication protocol is accordingly changed to the general Modbus method (compatible), the
PC software and teaching pendants used in conventional RCP2 controllers are not compatible.
When using this controller, prepare the following models:

3. Recommendation for Backing Up Latest Data
This product uses nonvolatile memory to store t he 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 storage medium such as a hard disk using PC software.
[2] Create a position table sheet or parameter sheet and keep a written record of backup.
