▣ Standard Operation Method

There are four methods to operate PMC-1HS/PMC-2HS.

● Start with PC

Connect a PC and the motion controller body via a communication cable, starts the operation program.

● Start with Parallel I/F

Connect a sequence controller or switch to the Parallel I/F.

● Start with teaching unit (PMC-2TU-232, sold separately)

Connect a communication cable annexed to a teaching unit (PMC-2TU-232).
It is available to execute Jog output, home output and programs by drive operation of teaching unit.

● Control by serial communication

The PMC-1HS/2HS Series provides serial communication commands.
The PMC-1HS/2HS is connected to a PC or a sequence controller via an USB cable or RS-232C communication cable and it can control
axes by means of user's independent program.

▣ Teaching Unit PMC-2TU-232 (sold separately)

The teaching unit (PMC-2TU-232) is a device that builds the operation mode parameter and operation program for the
main body without a PC. In addition, it can carry out the start of the operation program, the home search and Jog operation.
The teaching unit is used by connection the private cable (1.5m) to the RS-232C connector (CN2) of the main body.

- J

PMC-2TU-232

connection cable (accessory)

Teaching unit consists of data edit mode and drive operation mode.
The data edit mode displays a register number to the REG of the display part, and the drive handling mode displays dp (drive operation).
When turned on, it starts as the drive handling mode (dp display).
The [DP] button is used to convert the status of the data edit mode and the drive operation mode.

:

Displays the currently selected register number when data is editing and dp when operating drive.

:

Displays the data of each register when data is editing and the current position of the selected axis when operating

drive.

• X/Y: Converts the selecting axis. It is used to convert the sign of an input value when the value is entered and a mode
data that the mode data is entered.

• REG:

It is used to input the register number to display.
If this button is pressed on the data input, the data input is canceled and returns to the state before the data input.

• ↑↓: Increases / decreases the displayed register number.

• EXC: Runs the displayed command. However, this command is only valid for ABS, INC, OUT, OTP and HOM 1 to 4

commands.

• DP: Converts the drive handling status and the data edit status.

• WRT: Adds a value when data is editing.

:

Displays button function as yellow letters to the left or the top of the input button in drive handling status.
The top end and the bottom end of the button handle X-axis and Y-axis respectively.
