1.1 System Configuration
1.1.1 Overview
The V9 series is equipped with seven physical ports consisting of three serial ports, one LAN port, one USB-A port, one USB
mini-B port, and one network communication port
*1
. The LAN port can open eight ports simultaneously.
You can use the physical ports to connect a maximum of eight different models of devices and allow the V9 series to
communicate with them at the same time. This is called 8-way communication.
*1 A communication interface unit (CUR-xx, under development) is required to enable network communication.
Only the logical port PLC1 can be selected for the following devices and functions. Thus, they cannot be connected at the
same time.
