MELSERVO-J2M has the RS-422 and RS-232C serial communication functions. These functions can be
used to perform servo operation, parameter changing, monitor function, etc.
However, the RS-422 and RS-232C communication functions cannot be used together. Select between RS-
422 and RS-232C with IFU parameter No.0. (Refer to Section 13.2.2.)

The interface unit and drive units of stations 0 to 31 can be run/operated on the same bus.
Similarly, any servo amplifiers that enable station number setting can be connected on the same bus.
It should be noted that the commands/data should be handled without mistakes since they are specific
to each servo amplifier.
