Outline of Data Transfer Operation
The basic operation when transferring data (cam programs and parameters) between two Cam Posi-
tioner Units is outlined below.
1. Connect the RS-232C Cable.
Connect the cable according to the instructions under Connecting RS-232C Cables in the previous
section.
2. Set the baud rate.
Set the baud rate (Function No. b, Parameter No. 6). Set the same baud rate for both Master and
Slave Units.
1: 9,600 bps (factory setting)
2: 19,200 bps
3. Turn OFF the power supply and turn it ON again.
If the baud rate setting has been changed, turn OFF the power supply and turn it ON again. This will
enable the baud rate setting.
4. Put the Slave Unit into transmission enabled mode.
Display Function No. t, Parameter No. 0 on the Slave Cam Positioner Unit.
5. Put the Master Unit into transmission enabled mode.
Display Function No. t, Parameter No. 1 on the Master Cam Positioner Unit. Set the data as required
for the transmission and press the Set Key. The data transfer will begin.
1: Data read (Reads programs and parameters from the Slave to the Master.)
2: Data write (Writes programs and parameters from the Master to the Slave.)
3: Data verification (Verifies the Master programs and parameters against the Slave programs and
parameters.)
