4.13.1 Direct connection
The built-in Ethernet Motion CPU (Q173DSCPU /Q172DSCPU/Q173DCPU-S1/
Q172DCPU-S1) can communicate data by connecting built-in PERIPHERAL I/F of the
Motion CPU with personal computers and/or display devices, etc. using an Ethernet
cable.
There are following three ways to communicate between the Motion CPU and
