RS232C Interface Connector at the Lower Area of the Operation Panel
The RS232C interface connector at the lower area of the
operation panel is used to connect an external I/O device
that has an RS232C interface.
When connecting the signal line to the
RS232C interface connector or disconnecting
it from the RS232C interface connector, turn off
the power to the machine and external I/O
device. Connecting or disconnecting with the
power on may cause malfunction.
An external I/O device is used in the following cases:
1.
To input the data from the external I/O device to the
NC memory
2.
To output the data from the NC memory to the
external I/O device
3.
To perform tape operation
An external I/O device that has another type of
interface connector cannot be connected using
the RS232C interface connector.

100 VAC Service Outlet (Option)
The 100 VAC service outlet is used to connect the power
supply cord of an external I/O device to be connected to
the NC.
When using the service outlet (optional) on the operation panel for connecting an
external device, the permissible current indicated on the rating plate must not be
exceeded. If a device whose capacity exceeds the permissible current is used, the
breaker in the electrical cabinet could be tripped, causing damage to the machine or
machining defects.
