5.15 About the communication setting

(1) Overview
The controller of CRnD series has RS-232 of the one port as standard.
Although it usually connects with the personal computer and the standard RS-232 port is used for transmis-
sion of the robot program, and debugging using RT-ToolBox of the option, it sets the parameter and can use
it for communication of the data with external equipment. Carry out communication by the commands
(Open/Close/Print/Input etc.) of the communication relation on the robot program. Call this the data link.
The controller cannot be controlled from external devices such as a PC (i.e., automatic execution or status
monitoring). If this is necessary, contact the dealer or branch from where the robot has been purchased for further
consultation.
