Overview of LK-Navigator
The "LK-Navigator" is the parameter setting and monitoring software of the controller. When the controller is connected to a PC, this software enables the operator to
1
set the parameters and to monitor the operating status of the controller from a PC.
Functions and Features
The main functions and features of the "LK-Navigator" are described as follows.
■ Operation Setting
• The settings of the controller can be received by a PC, enabling the operator to check
and modify the settings. When multiple equipment or programs need to be set, they can
be quickly and easily set by using the Copy and Paste functions of the software.
• The settings created on the PC can then be sent to the controller to set it. Communication
between the controller and PC is done simply by pressing the corresponding buttons.
• The settings of the controller can be read and saved by PC. Because the controller
settings can be saved in a PC, the settings can be recovered from a file saved in the PC
in the event of accidental erasure of the settings in the controller.
The following settings can be made from a PC.
· Head Settings
· OUT Settings
· Common Settings
· Environment Settings
