A low–cost connection with a personal computer can be made using the
RS–232C interface.
The two types of software listed below are available for use on the PC.
1) FAPT LADDER–II
This software enables the display and editing of ladder diagrams, and
can also display the PMC status. Ladder creation and online
debugging are also possible.
2) DPL/MDI operation package
This software enables the display and editing of programs and
parameters.
The personal computer can be made detachable by using a punch panel
and cable manufactured by FANUC.
NOTE
A setting/display unit called the DPL/MDI has been used
with the conventional FANUC Power Mate–MODEL D/H
units. Note, however, that it cannot be used with the Power
Mate i. If a setting/display unit is not attached to each Power
Mate unit, prepare a notebook–type personal computer with
the two types of software, described above, installed. Use
the second RS–232C channel of the Power Mate i to
connect the personal computer.
