Note

Only the combination IN terminal or the RS-232C terminal can be used at the same time. Connecting them at the same time could cause errors. Also, do not pair combination IN terminals or combination OUT terminals. Doing so could cause communication to fail.

It is possible to use a general-purpose mini DIN 6-pin (straight) cable for the combination cable.

Note

To output RS-232C signals from the combination OUT terminal, an ID must be assigned. For details, refer to section, 5.5.4, “ID Assignment” (pg. 192).
