Omron Guide for Connecting the NT31C to the Support Tool

Connecting to the Support Tool Section 3-2

3-2 Connecting to the Support Tool

In order to install the system program in the NT31/NT31C, or to transmit screen data created with the Support Tool to the NT31/NT31C, the NT31/NT31C must be connected to a personal computer with an RS-232C cable.

The NT31/NT31C connects the RS-232C cable from a personal computer at se- rial port A. When the host is connected at serial port B, the connection with the host can be maintained as it is while the NT31/NT31C is connected to the RS-232C cable from a personal computer.

However, when a bar code reader is being used, it must be disconnected, so that the RS-232C cable can be connected, since they both use serial port A.
