### Federal Interface

The Federal interface is used with Federal/Renault machines. This interface just requires a single RS-232 comm port.

Before starting PC-DMIS, rename the federal.dll to interfac.dll.

The Machine Option dialog box has three tabs for the Federal interface:

Comm tab

See the "Setting the Communication Protocol" topic. Default value is Comm Port 1, 9600 Baud, Even parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

Axis tab

See the "Assigning the Machine Axes" topic.

Debug tab

See the "Generating a Debug File" topic.

Note: Additional information for this interface is provided in the Machine Interface Installation Manual (MIIM).
