CAUTION

1. Use Environment

ACON controllers can be used in an environment of pollution degree 2 or equivalent.

2. PC Software and Teaching Pendant Models

New functions have been added to the entire ACON controller series.
To support these new features, the communication protocol has been changed to the general
Modbus (Modbus-compliant) mode. As a result, the existing PC software programs and teaching
pendants compatible with RCS controllers can no longer be used.
If you are using this controller, use a compatible PC software program and/or teaching pendant
selected from the following models.

3. Recommendation for Backing Up Latest Data

This controller uses nonvolatile memory to store position table data and parameters. Although data in
the memory is retained even after the power is cut off, the stored data will be lost if the nonvolatile
memory is damaged.

It is therefore recommended that you regularly back up the latest position table data and parameters in
case of accidental data loss. Regular backup will also let you restore data quickly if the controller must
be replaced for other reasons.

Use the following methods to back up data:
[1]

Use the PC software to save the data to a CD or FD.

[2]

Create a position table sheet or parameter sheet and keep a written record of backup.
