2.1.1 When connecting control unit with host computer directly
The communication interface for control unit are RS-232C and RS-422A. When using the RS-422A, a
maximum of 16 control units can be connected.
However, when connecting to the computer which only has a RS-232C driver, conversion of the
communication interface will be necessary.
Our recommended RS-232C/RS-422A converter are shown below:
RS-232C/RS-422A converter: COM-A
For details on the RS-232C/RS-422A converter, see the RS-232C/RS-422A converter
instruction manual.
