Setting SYSMAC-C Series
1. Set the RS-232C communication parameters (baud rate, data length, parity and

stop bit length) according to the BL-600’s settings.

2. Set the unit number according to the BL-600’s setting.

3. Set the command level to “Level 1, 2, 3”.

4. Set “1:1/1:N” to “1:N”.

5. Set “I/O port” to either “RS-232C” or “RS-422A”.

6. Set “Trigger input” to “Internal”.

7. Set “Supply 5 V” to “Disable”.

8. Set “CTS” to “0 V (Normally ON).”

*

The “I/O port”, “Trigger input”, “Supply 5 V” and “CTS” parameters may not be
provided depending on the type of link unit.

*

If using the C200HE/HG/HX or a communication board, follow steps 1 and 2
above, and set the mode to “Upper link”, and “CTS control” to “None”. Use the
initial settings for the other parameters.

Setting KV Series/handheld programmer port
1. The KV series’ RS-232C port must always be set to the following values:

• Baud rate : 9600 bps
• Data length: 8 bits
• Parity: Even
• Stop bit length: 1 bit

2. Set the RS-232C communication parameters of the BL-600 according to the

above settings. Set the BL-600’s communication mode to “KV”.

*

No other parameters need to be set.

Settings for KV-L2/KV mode*
1. Set the KV-L2’s communication mode to “KV mode”.

Set the BL-600’s communication mode to “KV”.

2. The KV mode must be always set to the following values:

• Baud rate : 9600 bps
• Data length: 8 bits
• Parity: Even
• Stop bit length: 1 bit

Set the RS-232C communication parameters of the BL-600 according to the
above settings.

3. Set the station number to “00”.

4. To use the KV-L2 port 2, set the port 2 selector switch to “RS-232C” or "RS-

422A".

*

No other parameters need to be set.

Note: KV-L2 is not available in Europe.
