Caution
Danger of damage being caused to the device
If you interchange the connectors, or use wrong connecting cables, the port might
be damaged.
Be careful not to plug the TTY cable in the LPT 1 port of the computing unit
instead of the COM1/TTY port.
Before inserting the connecting cables, the static charge of your body, the device
and the connecting cables must be brought to the same potential. To do this, touch
the metal housing briefly.
Use only the original connecting cable for the connection to the programmable
controller.
