Communication between PM1D Manager and the console/engine

If you connect the console/engine and the PC, you can use PM1D Manager as a supplementary controller for
the system.
• "Online" refers to a state in which the console/
engine and the PC are connected by a cable, and data
can be transferred to control the device immediately.
• "Offline" refers to a state in which the console/
engine and the PC are not connected by a cable and
therefore are unable to communicate, or a state in
which the cable is connected but communication has
not begun.

In the online state, parameters (with some excep-
tions) will be linked between the console/engine and
the PC, allowing PM1D Manager to monitor the
state of the system, operate it remotely, and act as a
substitute in the event of device failure. The material
that follows will explain various ways of setting up
the system, and how data communications can be
established and terminated.
■ Example 4: Mirror mode (connect the PC to
the engine)

• The PC can only be connected to the engine that is
selected in Mirror mode. In this example, ENGINE A
is used.

• Only one PC can be connected to a system. It is not possi-
ble to connect multiple PC's to a system.
• Depending on the device to which the PC is connected, or
depending on the structure of the system, the functional-
ity of PM1D Manager may be partially limited. For
details, refer to "PC connections in a system that includes
a console" (→p.21).
