<Note>
*1 “On Machine” means the control program is written into the controller installed in the machine.

*2 “Office” means the control program is written directly into the controller without a machine in the
office.

*3 The computer side connector of the Handy Checker Harness is the

Serial Port (RS232C). Therefore, if your computer doesn’t have the
serial port, buy the cable that converts USB to the serial port (RS232C)
in the computer shop. It cannot be supplied from KOBELCO.

*4 You can use the harness Type A&B or C without Transformer. In that case, you need to prepare the
transformer which can create 24V from your original power source (for example, AC –DC converter.).
As shown in Section 4-2, C2
