1.2 Setup
1.2.1 Installing the Tools
In the C64 Series PLC development environment, it is assumed that the various tools are used on
an IBM PC/AT compatible machine. Prepare each tool so that it is IBM PC/AT compatible machine.
Refer to the enclosed Operating Manual for the setup and start procedures of each tool.
1.2.2 Connecting the Serial Cable
As for the serial port connected with the CNC, refer to the MELDAS C6/C64/C64T Connection and
Maintenance Manual (BNP-B2255).
(1) RS-232C connection
Between the IBM PC/AT compatible machine that uses GX Developer and the CNC controller,
use an RS-232C serial cable equivalent to the one shown below in the RS-232C connection
diagram.
(Note) The cables given in the connection diagrams of the GX Developer Operating Manual
cannot be used.
As for the CNC side, setting for GPPW communication is not necessary.
