This section explains the basic concepts of the communications software.
1.2.1 Communications Processing
Communications software is required for the Machine Controller and the personal computer
used as the Programming Device.
The Machine Controller communications software consists of the communications process-
ing software installed in the Communications Module and the user application software
stored in the CPU Module.
The personal computer contains communications software called the Communications Pro-
cess, which is the communications processing part of the MPE720 Programming Software.
The Communications Modules to be connected must be set using the Communications Pro-
cess.
