Communications Processing

Communications software is required for the Machine Controller and the personal computer
used as the Programming Device.
The Machine Controller communications software consists of the communications process-
ing software installed in the Communications Module and the user application software
stored in the CPU Module.
The personal computer contains communications software called the Communications Pro-
cess, which is the communications processing part of the MPE720 Programming Software.
The Communications Modules to be connected must be set using the Communications Pro-
cess.
