Remote Interfaces
In this manual, Remote Interface refers to the two communication inter-
faces that the controller can use to communicate with a computer or a ter-
minal via commands in ASCII format. It is not called a Computer Interface
since any device capable of sending ASCII characters can be interfaced
with the controller.
The Remote Interface should not be confused with the analog and digital
I/Os. These interfaces communicate with the controller via discrete lines,
with specific functions, without using any motion commands. They are
used to synchronize external events in complex motion systems.
