CHAPTER 7 USAGE THE REMOTE CONNECTOR
This chapter describes the use of the remote connector.
The FP5 can be remote controlled by connecting the remote connector and external control device. Remote control
can be used to operate and check writing and PASS/ERROR displays from the external control device.
7.1 Remote Interface Mode
The remote interface has a standard mode and a bank mode.
The modes are switched by using the FP5 Manager [Enable Bank mode] check box.
Standard mode: The same signals as the control buttons (NEXT, ENTER, CANCEL) on the command menu of the FP5
unit can be input.
Bank mode: This mode allows inputting of the bank signals (BANK0-2) that indicate the programming area. The
control buttons (NEXT, ENTER, CANCEL) will change their functions to those inputting bank signals,
so that the command menu displayed on the FP5 message display will be disabled.
7.2 Remote Connector Pins
The FP5 remote connector pins have the following functions. All inputs will become active with an effective level of 50
ms or greater. Note that the pin numbers in Table 7-1 are the pin numbers on the FP5 remote connector.
