5. CONNECTION TO CNC PERIPHERALS
61
I/O devices are used for inputting various data such as CNC programs and
parameters from external devices to the CNC or outputting data from the
CNC to external devices.
The Handy File is one of the I/O devices for the Series 21i/210i. The
interface for I/O devices complies with RS–232C. The Series 21i/210i
can therefore be connected to devices which have an RS–232C interface.
NOTE
The Series 21i with a touch panel or the Series 210i (with
HSSB) with a touch panel uses the first channel (JD36A) of
the RS–232C interface for the touch panel. The Series 210i
with a touch panel and built–in personal computer function
uses the first channel (JD33) of the RS–232C interface of
the personal computer side for the touch channel.
