1.1 Command Specification
Commands for SimplIQ drives may be specified from the following sources:
ƒ User program A program loaded to the servo drive via one of the
communication options. After program execution begins, the
program is managed by the drive.
ƒ RS-232 Serial, point-to-point, short-range communication. Although this
method is rather slow, RS-232 is very easy to use and
requirements are minimal: a standard PC with serial port and
ASCII terminal software.
