14. COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS

This servo amplifier has the RS-422 and RS-232C serial communication functions. These functions can be

used to perform servo operation, parameter changing, monitor function, etc.

However, the RS-422 and RS-232C communication functions cannot be used together. Select between RS-

422 and RS-232C with parameter No.16. (Re fer to Section 14.2.2.)
