PM1D Manager for Windows Operating manual

Communication between PM1D Manager and the console/engine
If you connect the console/engine and the PC, you can use PM1D Manager as a supplementary controller for
the system.
• “Online” refers to a state in which the console/
engine and the PC are connected by a cable, and data
can be transferred to control the device immediately.
• “Offline” refers to a state in which the console/
engine and the PC are not connected by a cable and
therefore are unable to communicate, or a state in
which the cable is connected but communication has
not begun.
In the online state, parameters (with some excep-
tions) will be linked between the console/engine and
the PC, allowing PM1D Manager to monitor the
state of the system, operate it remotely, and act as a
substitute in the event of device failure. The material
that follows will explain various ways of setting up
the system, and how data communications can be
established and terminated.

not possible to connect multiple PC’s to a system.
•Depending on the device to which the PC is con-
nected, or depending on the structure of the sys-
tem, the functionality of PM1D Manager may be
partially limited. For details, refer to “PC connec-
tions in a system that includes a console”
