3.3 Setting the Communication Manager
This section describes the software called the Communication Manager that is used to set the communication method
for engineering communication between the personal computer running the MPE720 and the MP2000-series Machine
Controller.
When a 263IF-01 Module is used for communication between the MPE720 (personal computer) and a Machine Con-
troller, set the communication method with the Communication Manager in accordance with the Module to be used.
Set the communication conditions with the Communication Manager after the MPE720 Programming Device has been
installed. Once they have been set, you do not need to set them for subsequent start-ups, except when other conditions
are to be added.
