SL-V Series Ver.3
Note
The <SL-V Configurator> allows various configurations on the SL-V Series version 3 to be configured
from the PC.
• Settings can be configured even when the computer is not connected to the SL-V.
• The receiver on the main unit is needed to configure and upload configuration. (If the SL-V is under the
serial connection, only the main unit is required when the configuration is uploaded.)
Before Use
• A separate interface unit such as the SL-V1UB and USB 1.1-compatible USB cable (included
with the SL-V1UB) or the SL-V connection cable are required to connect the SL-V to a computer.
• Only one interface unit can be connected to each computer. 1-to-many or many-to-1 connection
are not possible.
• All settings can be configured with SL-V Ver. 2/Ver.1 in a serial connection as subunits.
However, the main unit must be Ver. 3.
• The SL-VHS cannot be used as a main unit.
• When settings are being configured with <SL-V Configurator> (with the SL-V1UB connected to
the SL-V), the control output (OSSD) of the SL-V turns OFF. Also, when the safety control unit
SL-T11R is connected, the indicator of SL-T11R lights up differently (arbitrary lightup) from
when in normal use. After settings are configured with <SL-V Configurator>, disconnect the SLV1UB from the SL-V before use.
