RS232 interface, PC connection (X6)
The setting of the operating, position control, and motion-block parameters, can be carried out on
an ordinary commercial PC.
Connect the PC interface (X6) of the servo amplifier while the supply to the equipment is swit-
ched off via a normal commercial 3-core null-modem cable to a serial interface on the PC.
Do not use a null-modem link cable!
The interface is electrically isolated through an optocoupler, and is at the same potential as the
CANopen interface.
The interface is selected and set up in the setup software.
Further notes can be found on page 76.
With the optional expansion card -2CAN- the two interfaces for RS232 and CAN, which otherwise
use the same connector X6, are separated onto two connectors (ð p. 106).

(View : looking at the face of the built-in SubD connectors, this corresponds to the solder side of the
SubD sockets on the cable)
