(via the RS-232C Port)
PMC parameters can be input to a PMC from another type of device
connected via RS-232C. To use this function, perform the operation
described below on the I/O screen. To set the communication
parameters, display the port setting screen by pressing the [PORT
SETING] soft key. For the port setting screen, see Subsection 7.4.2.
NOTE
This operation can be performed only when the
operation condition allows PMC parameter input.
For details, see Section 6.2.

selection cursor and option selection cursor:

FUNCTION READ
(2) Press the [EXEC] soft key.
Before the reading of a file is started, the following message is
displayed to check if read processing may be executed:
"READING PMC PARAMETER (PMCx)"
(As PMCx, the PMC number embedded in the data is
displayed. "PMC DCS" is displayed for parameters for dual
check safety.)
Press the [EXEC] soft key to continue the operation. When PMC
parameters for the conventional model are to be read with the
multi-PMC system, select a read source PMC with soft key
operation. For PMC selection, see Subsection 7.4.4. Press the
[CANCEL] soft key to stop the operation.
If the reading of PMC parameters is continued, the PMC
parameters are rewritten even when a ladder program is being
executed.
NOTE
When the format of a specified file cannot be
recognized, the read operation is terminated
abnormally with the following message:
"UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT"
