Examples of communication settings of the Display and the External Device, recommended by Pro-face, are shown.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Read and understand the instructions in this section to ensure data is properly transferred.

NOTE

- In the [Properties] window, use the [Use Server] driver property to specify whether the Display operates as either client/server or as a client.
  When the [Use Server] check box is selected:
  The Display operates as client and server. The client/server addresses are allocated based on the [Base Address] and the [No. of Consecutive Addresses]. The base address is the server address, and the remaining addresses are for client addresses.
  When the [Use Server] check box is cleared:
  The Display operates as a client. Clients are allocated to addresses from the [Base Address] for the [No. of Consecutive Addresses].
  (Example)

  [Use Server] | [Base Address] | [No. of Consecutive Address] | Description
  [Use Server] is selected | 4 | 2 | Server Address: 4 Client Address: 5
  [Use Server] is cleared | 4 | 2 | Client Address: 4 to 5

## Cable Diagram

The following cable diagrams may be different from cable diagrams recommended by External Device Manufacturer.

Please be assured there is no operational problem in applying the cable diagram shown in this manual.

- The FG pin of the External Device body must be grounded according to your country's applicable standard. Refer to your External Device manual for details.

- SG and FG are connected inside the Display. When connecting the External Device to SG, design your system to avoid short-circuit loops.

- Connect an isolation unit if the communication is not stable due to noise or other factors.

## Supported Devices

Range of supported device address is shown in the table below. Please note that the actually supported range of the devices varies depending on the External Device to be used. Please check the actual range in the manual of your External Device.

As it also varies depending on the "Software Configuration" setting of the ladder software, please check accordingly.
