The basic system consists of the base unit and the program loader. This system is used to edit a user program on the pro-

status.
Connecting the Cable
The program loader has a cover on the top to select the loader
cable connection port or AC adapter jack. Slide the cover to

Connect the connector of the loader cable to the loader cable
connection port on the program loader and the other connector
of the cable to the loader port on the

Off-line Programming
The program loader can be used off-line for remote program-
ming. Slide the cover to the left to open the AC adapter jack of
the program loader and connect an AC adapter to the AC
adapter jack. For the power supply requirements and the plug
dimensions, see page A-4.
Programming Tool

See page 4-16.
When connecting and disconnect-
ing the loader cable, be sure to
hold the connector. Since the con-
nector has a latch, the cable cannot
be removed by holding the cable.
