9.11 RS232 interface, PC connection (X6)
Operating, position control, and motion-block parameters can be set up by using the setup
software PDrive on an ordinary commercial PC.
Connect the PC interface (X6) of the servo amplifier to a serial interface on the PC via a null-
modem cable, while the supply to the equipment is switched off.
Do not use a null-modem power link cable!
This interface has the same electrical potential as the CANopen interface.
The interface is selected and set up in the setup software PDrive. Further notes on page 92.
With the optional –CAN adapter expansion card, the two interfaces for RS232 and CAN, which
would otherwise use the same connector X6, are separated out onto three connectors ( p.
107).
