« FC4A MICRO SMART USER ’S MANUAL » 4-14: O PERATION B ASICSIntroductionThis chapter describes general information about setting up the basic MicroSmart system for programming, starting andstopping MicroSmart operation, and introduces simple operating procedures from creating a user program using WindLDRon a computer to monitoring the MicroSmart operation.Connecting MicroSmart to PC (1:1 Computer Link System)The MicroSmart can be connected to a Windows PC in two ways.Computer Link through Port 1 or Port 2 (RS232C)When connecting a Windows computer to the RS232C port 1 or port 2 on the MicroSmart CPU module, enable the main-tenance protocol for the RS232C port using the Function Area Settings in WindLDR. See page 26-2.To set up a 1:1 computer link system, connect a computer to the CPU module using the computer link cable 4C (FC2A-KC4C). The computer link cable 4C can be connected to port 1 directly. When connecting the cable to port 2 on the all-in-one 16- or 24-I/O type CPU module, install an optional RS232C communication adapter (FC4A-PC1) to the port 2 con-nector. When connecting to port 2 on the slim type CPU module, an optional RS232C communication module (FC4A-HPC1) is needed. The RS232C communication adapter can also be installed on the HMI base module (FC4A-HPH1).RS232CD-sub 9-pinFemale ConnectorPort 1 (RS232C)Port 2 (Note)RS232C Communication AdapterFC4A-PC1Computer Link Cable 4CFC2A-KC4C3m (9.84 ft.) longPort 1 (RS232C)All-in-One TypeCPU ModuleSlim TypeCPU ModuleSlim TypeCPU ModuleNote: The port 2 connector isavailable on the all-in-one 16-and 24-I/O type CPU modulesonly; not on the 10-I/O type.RS232C Communication ModuleFC4A-HPC1Port 2Port 1 (RS232C)HMI Base ModuleFC4A-HPH1Port 2RS232C Communication AdapterFC4A-PC1
