1.3 Communication with APS Power Source at Software Startup
Control Software for APS Series checks the communication connection with the APS power source
when it is started.
When the communication connection with the APS power source is established, the software retrieves the
parameter settings of Basic controller from the APS power source, and displays them on the PC screen.
If the communication connection with the APS power source cannot be established, the software starts as
it is, and the default settings of the software are used for the parameters of Basic controller. This software
can create the setting data of each function without connecting to the APS power source.
Make sure that the model name in the system setting of this software matches with the connected APS
power source. Otherwise, unexpected behavior may be caused.
