3 Preparation for Communication
3.1 In Case the Host Uses RS232C Interface
(1) System configuration
The host must be either
a PLC or PC. It is not
allowed to connect both
at the same time.
RS232C cable
(prepared by the customer)
Check the pin assignment of the interface
on the host side and prepare either
straight-through or cross-connected cables
accordingly.
(RS232C)
You can connect IAI’s PC
software or other teaching tool.
