shown below, according to their applications.
Please use this manual using the contents below as a reference.
(1) To learn about features, functions and component parts
(a) To learn about features and functions
• Chapter 1 describes the features of the serial communication modules.
• Chapter 3 describes the common specifications and functions of the serial
communication modules.
(b) To learn about the packed items and system-configured items
• The section prior to Chapter 1, "Product Configuration", describes the
parts that are packed along with the serial communication module.

• Section 4.2 describes the general procedures prior to starting the
operation of the serial communication module.
(b) To learn about the connection with the external devices
• Section 4.4 describes the connection methods for each type of interface.
(c) To learn about processing required prior to operation of the serial
communication module
• Section 4.5 explains the parameter settings with GX Developer in order to
use the serial communication module.
• Section 4.6 and Chapter 8 describe the settings from GX Configurator-SC
to perform the initial setting of the serial communication module.
