e
TheAGPHPE handygraphicprogrammer (referred to as "AGPHP")
is
a peripheral unitfor use with MELSEC-Aand K series PCs. It is
based on a 16-bit microprocessor and features many useful functions
as well as ease of operation.ThisManual describes the AGPHP
hardware.
For operating instructions, consult the relevantoperating
manual for the system being used.
AGPHP features:
1) Light weight and portable.
2) Theplasmadisplay (referred to as "PDP'') is clearunder a bright
3) The PDPscreen allows easy program writing and correcting.
4) A built-in 3.5-inch floppy disk drive (referred to as "FDD")for
program storage.
5) Theoperating systems for A and
K series programmable control-
lersare storedonseparatedisks allowing
great flexibility.
6) TheRS-232C port allowsthe printingoutof ladderand list
diagrams
as well as cross reference lists, etc.
7) By connecting the PHP to a ROM writer (AGWU)using the RS-
422 cable, programs and comments can be storedonto ROM.
8) ThePHPsystemcanbe booted in approximately five seconds by
inserting thememorycard into the built-in memorycard inter-
face.
