4-1 Connecting the sensor to the PC
The sensor is connected to the PC by means of the OMRON E3NT-AL 232 2m
data interface.
To do this, clip the data interface onto the sensor. Data is transferred between
the sensor and the data interface by means of an IR communication element.
The data interface is connected to a free serial COM port of the PC (COM1 ...
COM8).
After the program has started, the SensorSupportSoftware runs an auto-
matic interface check, including sensor selection and detection.
