2.3.2 Connection to a Personal Computer
The 9 Pin, Female, SUB-D, PC [RS-232] & PLC [RS-485] Port on the back of the unit is the
programming port (PC Connector) and RS485/422 communications port for connecting to a controller.
Connection
This port can be attached to a Computer via a special DB9 Female to
DB9 Female cable provided with the unit. (P/N: MT5_PC)
Port Activation This port is activated automatically by the PC during on line simulation,
download and upload activities.
The Programmer Port cannot simulate, download or upload to the
MT-500 while it is on line with the controller at the same time. The
MT-500 must be put into “RDS” mode with the EasyManager applet
first.

2.3.3 Connection to a Printer
The printer port on the back of the unit is a Parallel printer port and is compatible with most printers that
accept parallel connectors.
Print Out
The MT-506TE4 and MT-506SE4 models have print out capabilities.
The printer port transmits data when a printable object is activated.
MT-500 support compatible with EPSON ESC/P2 printer. For details,
contact your local distributor.

Note: Connect printer the distance can’t longer than 5m.
Pin Designations
PRINTER
The printer port need an option 15 Pin D-SUB to 25 Pin D-SUB
cable(P/N: MT5_PRN).
2.3.3 Dip Switch
Touch Screen Test mode: In this mode when you touch the screen, the screen will display a “+” sign.
So you can test the touch screen was accurate.
RDS (Remote Debug & Simulation) mode: Used for simulation and download/upload.
When E4 series insert a CF card will appear a green button on screen right and bottom side.
Press this button to startup the project download procedure.
Touch Adjust (Touch screen calibration) mode: Used to calibrate the touch screen.
Application (On line operation) mode: This is the normal operating mode of the EasyView; the
EasyView will start from the startup window of the project download.
2.4 CE Requirements
EU directives that apply to the MT-500 Series:
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC, 93/68/EEC) electromagnetic emissions and immunity
Machinery Directive (89/392/EEC, 91/368/EEC, 93/44/EEC, 93/ 68/EEC) machine safety
MT500 products will be CE-marked to indicate compliance with the EMC Directive.
The MT-500 Series has been designed to operate satisfactorily in electromagnetic noise (immunity) and
without emitting high levels of electrical noise into the environment (emission). The units are designed to
meet European Community standards when installed per the wiring instructions in this manual.
Compatibility
Standards
The MT-500 has been designed to meet electromagnetic compatibility for industrial
environments.
• CISPR (EN 55011) Group 1, Class A Radiated Emissions levels
• EN50081-2 Generic emission standard, industrial environment (Also US FCC
Class A)
• EN50082-2 Generic immunity standard, industrial environment
