2.
Wiring
Connect the Motion module to external devices.
3.
Adding the module
Add the RD78G(H) to the module map of the project using an engineering tool.
4.
Network construction
Set network parameters in "Module Parameter (Network)" of the engineering tool.
• Set the communication cycle setting for Network Configuration Settings.
Set the basic communication cycle according to the number of controlled axes or network device configuration. For a
reference of the cycle, refer to the following manual for operation cycle.

8.
Writing parameters
Write the set parameters and programs to the Motion module.
• "Motion Module (internal memory)" or "Motion Module (SD memory card)" can be selected as a storage location for module
extended parameters. The initial setting is "Motion Module (internal memory)". When writing module extended parameters,
specify the same storage location in the writing destination of the engineering tool as "Module extended parameter storage
location setting" in "Module operation setting" of Module Parameter (Motion).
