This section describes how to connect the KV-D20 with the KV Series.
Connection
Precautions
•
Connecting/disconnecting the modular cable can be done at any time regardless
of whether the KV unit is turned on or off.
•
Both communication ports A and B can be used to connect the KV-D20. How-
ever, do not connect two KV-D20s at the same time.
•
When connecting the KV-P3E(01) handheld programmer to a KV Series that is
already connected to the KV-D20, set the mode selector switch of the KV-
P3E(01) to "PROGRAM" before connecting it. Do not connect the KV-P3E(01) to
the KV series together with the KV-D20 for a long period of time.
•
Never tie the modular cable together with or route it close to strong electri-
cal lines or output lines. This will cause damage to the KV-D20.
•
Prevent a strong force from being applied to the modular cable.
•
Be sure to use the modular cable specified by KEYENCE (OP-26487, sup-
plied with the KV-D20). Use of an unspecified cable may cause malfunc-
tions.
•
The modular cable cannot be extended.

cable to the communication port at
the rear of the KV-D20.
