4.1 Communications Process
This section gives an overview of the communications process and explains how to open it.
4.1.1 Overview
The communications process is provided in the communications software on the Program-
ming Device that is required when performing engineering to connect a MPE720 Program-
ming Device and Machine Controllers. The method of setting the communications process
varies according to the communications port on the Machine Controller to which the Pro-
gramming Device is connected.
With the communications process, the communications conditions must be set once after the
MPE720 Programming Software has been installed. Once they have been set, the settings are
stored as system information and the communications conditions will thus be automatically
set from the next startup.
The conditions must be reset if the communications destination changes.
