• A general purpose computer or an ASCII unit of the PLC (master station) controls the POD (slave
station) using dedicated commands.

• The UG230 internal user memory addresses ($u) must be used for memory allocation for switch,
lamp or data display parts.
When the master station specifies a screen number, data is written to the internal memory address
($u) allocated for the screen. If the screen is switched internally, the new screen number is read
and is written to the internal memory address ($u) allocated for the screen.
• For 1 : 1 connection, the UG230 can send an interrupt to the master station through switch
activation, write command from the keypad, and screen change.
• Use MJ2 (or CN1 when the UG230A-DCL is provided) of the UG230 for connection with a
general-purpose computer. Either signal level RS-232C or RS-422 (RS-485) can be selected.
• In addition to 1 : 1 connection, 1 : n connection is available between the general-purpose
computer and the UG230 via RS-422.
(A maximum of 32 UG230 units can be connected.)
For 1 : n connection, interrupts cannot be used.
