2.2.1 Host machine
A host machine is used to communicate with the FP5. Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista is required for
using the programming GUI. The host machine must also be equipped with a serial port or a USB port.
2.2.2 Serial cable
Communication is established by using a serial cable to connect the host machine serial port and FP5 serial connector
(RS-232C cross cable) connection. For details on the serial cable specifications, refer to CHAPTER 9 CONNECTORS
AND CABLES
2.2.3 USB cable
Communication is established by connecting the host machine USB port and the FP5 USB connector (mini-B type)
using a USB cable. For details on the USB cable specifications, refer to CHAPTER 9 CONNECTORS AND CABLES.
2.2.4 AC adapter
Connect the FP5 power supply connector to the AC adapter included with the FP5. The AC adapter differs depending
on the region where the product is being used. For details, see Table 1-2 AC Adapters for PG-FP5 Used in Each
Region. An AC adapter is required when using the PG-FP5, so be sure to purchase an AC adapter.
2.2.5 Target cable
A 16-pin connector is equipped on the tip of the target cable, which is connected to the target system or the program
adapter. For details on the target cable specifications, refer to CHAPTER 9 CONNECTORS AND CABLES.
2.2.6 GND cable
To reinforce the GND, use a GND cable to connect the FP5 GND connector and the signal GND of the target system or
program adapter. For details on the GND cable specifications, refer to CHAPTER 9 CONNECTORS AND CABLES.
Caution The FP5 and target system may be damaged if the voltage between the FP5 GND and the target
system GND is different. Use the GND cable to match the voltage before connecting the target cable.
2.2.7 Target system
The target system must be equipped with a device interface that complies with the target cable specifications. For
details on the specifications, refer to CHAPTER 9 CONNECTORS AND CABLES, CHAPTER 10 NOTES ON TARGET
SYSTEM DESIGN, and CHAPTER 11 SPECIFICATIONS OF TARGET INTERFACE CIRCUITS.
2.2.8 Program adapter
The FP5 supports off-board programming through which programs are written via a program adapter (FA series)
without mounting the target device onto the target system. Program adapters corresponding to each type of the target
device package are available.
