CONFIGURATION FRONT PANEL
1. CONFIGURATION
Atention:
The Fagor floppy disk unit is ready to be used in industrial environments.
The FAGOR floppy disk unit is a peripheral device for storing data in 3.5" floppy disks
of 720Kb or 1.44Mb of memory capacity.
It permits data exchange with the FAGOR CNC models: 8010, 8020, 8025, 8030 and
8050.
It is also possible to send computer generated programs, tables and files from a computer
out to a floppy disk and from here to the CNC or directly from the computer to the CNC
through the FAGOR floppy disk unit.
The data exchange will be managed by the corresponding CNC and communication can
be established via the two available serial ports, RS-232 and RS-422.
1.1 FRONT PANEL
This unit has no keyboard since all its commands are handled via serial lines.
Itonlyhas a green color LED to indicate whether the unit is ONor OFFas wellas the slot

CONFIGURATION
1.2 .1 CONNECTORS AND CONNECTIONS
1.2.1 .1 CONNECTOR X1
It is a SUB-D type 9-pin male connector for the RS-232 serial port: RS-232.
The cable shield must be connected to pin 1 of the connector at both ends of the cable.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE RS-232C INTERFACE
*Cable length
The EIA RS232C standard specifies that the cable capacitance must not exceed
2500pF; therefore, since a typical cable for this application usually has a capacitance
from 130 to 170pF/m, the maximum length will be limited to 15m (50 ft).
Itisrecommendedtouseshieldedtwisted-paircablesinordertominimizeinterference
thus avoiding poor communications over great lengths.
Itis recommended to use 7-conductor cables with a minimumsection of0.14mm²per
conductor and overall shield.
Atention:
Do not manipulate the connectors with the unit connected to main AC
power
Before manipulating these connectors (inputs/outputs, feedbach, etc)
make sure that the unit is not connected to main AC power

CONFIGURATION
1.2.1.2 CONNECTOR X2.
It is a SUB-D type 9-pin female connector for the RS-422 serial port connection.
The cable shield must be connected to pin 1 of the connector at both ends of the cable.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE RS-422 INTERFACE
It uses two separate cables for each signal. This presents the following advantages:
-It increases noise immunity.
-It allows data transmission over greater distance for the same baudrate.
-It reduces problems due to different ground potentials and interference between
signals.
The RS422 standard does not define the communications protocol to be used. It can be
used together with the RS499 standard.
A line terminating resistor must be installed between pins 3 and 8 (transmit data) as well
as between pins 4 and 5 (receive data). These resistors must be placed at both connectors
and its value must match the characteristic impedance of the cable.
Typical value : 120 Ohms 1/4W.
Atention:
Do not manipulate the connectors with the unit connected to main AC
power
Before manipulating these connectors (inputs/outputs, feedbach, etc)
make sure that the unit is not connected to main AC power
