5-5 Expansion RS232C Interface (included with CF Expansion)
With the expansion RS232C interface, output of fastening result data and input of ID data can be
performed. The ID data that has been input by the RS232 Input port is “married” to the curve
waveform and fastening result data and output to the expansion RS232C, the fieldbus message, etc.
･ RS232C-2 is for input only and RS232C-3 is for output only.
･ The setting of the RS232C ports, the sequence selection setting from the input ID
code, and setting of the RS232C input format are performed on the MASTER
Spindle from “RS232C Input Format/Data Input Setting” of the AFC3000 User
Console Software.
･ The setting of the RS232C output format is performed on the MASTER Spindle
from “RS232C Output Format” of the AFC3000 User Console Software.”
The factory settings of the RS232C-2 and RS232C-3 ports of the Expansion Unit 2 are as shown
below and these can be confirmed with D-No. “401” to “408” of the System Setting Mode (PAR No.
area: “SYS”).
