Connecting to the Host’s RS-422A/485 Port

Section 5-2

The following are the communications conditions that can be used with the memory link method. For the host (a personal computer, an FA computer, etc.), its setting should be compatible to one of the communications condi- tions listed in the following table. Set the same communications conditions at the NT631/NT631C by the memory switch. (page 160).
