11.Remote Maintenance
The α series can communicate via modems to a PC using AL-PCS/WIN-E. The user can Upload or Download Programs, monitor counter values or function block times, change parameter settings, or write new data to the α series. All communications are initiated from AL-PCS/WIN-E so that the user controls the information flow from the PC. The α series cannot initiate error messages or send messages to external devices.
The α series will initiate its modem upon startup therefore receive or transmit data as requested from AL-PCS/WIN-E.
