1.1 Communication system
RC Gateway Function can be selected from two types of communication systems and two types of
operation systems.
[1] For SIO type
For XSEL-P/Q/PX/QX Controllers, the slave (RC Controller) is to be connected with RS485
communication system using SIO converter or RS232C Converter Unit.
For XSEL-R/S/RX/SX Controllers, switching over between RS232C and RS485 settings is available
by the system operation setting switches provided on the controller unit. Put it on RS485 setting.
Neither of SIO converter or RS232C Converter Unit is necessary (Note 1) and the slave (RC Controller)
can directly be connected.
Ɣ System Configuration Example
XSEL
-P/Q/PX/QX
R/S/RX(D)/SX(D)
SIO converter
or
RS232C ⇔ RS485
conversion unit
SCON-C
The RC gateway function can be used only with this connector.
* If the controller is set up to operate in the RC gateway function
mode, this connector cannot be used in any other communication
method.
An error “425: Mount SIO communication mode error” (Purpose of use) will occur.

System Operation Switches
(Note 1)
(Note 1) It is not necessary for XSEL-R/S/RX(D)/SX(D).
(Turn ON System Operation Switch No. 2 on the operation panel of XSEL controller.)
