Additional Mathematical Functions

Port A for Common Use by Support Tool/Host and Port B for Exclusive Use by the Host

•Communications with the host is possible via another port while con- nected to the Support Tool.

•Reading bar code data from a bar code reader is possible via another port while communicating with the host.

•Installing a Memory Unit (type NT-MF261) on the rear of the NT631/ NT631C makes it easy to write screen data into the NT631/NT631C on site. This enables a rapid response to setup changes.

•NT631/NT631C can store a system program into a Memory Unit. This enables the system to handle more flexible setups.

Screen data can be checked simply by operations at the NT631/NT631C sys- tem menu, without connecting up to the Support Tool.

The number of elements that can be registered on one screen has been con- siderably increased, making it possible to create more expressive screens. For details, refer to Display Restrictions in Appendix A Specifications of the NT31/NT31C/NT631/NT631C Programmable Terminal Reference Manual.

It is now possible to write binary data stored in words at the host directly to the NT631/NT631C. This makes data conversion by a program at the host unnec- essary, reducing the load on the host.

Any quadrupled characters are displayed with a 32 dot high-definition font.

By using the system installer supplied with the Support Tool (Type NT- ZJCAT1-EV4), the system program at the NT631/NT631C can be changed easily from a personal computer.

The NT631/NT631C meets UL/CSA standards and EC directives.

Compatible with Sequencers in the following series: Mitsubishi A-series (Cal- culator Link) and FX-series (Programming Console), Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Series, GE Fanuc 90-20 and 90-30 Series, and Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 Series. Specialized system programs can be installed that allow the NT631/ NT631C to be controlled from other companies’ Sequencers.

Up to 3 windows can be displayed simultaneously in the normal screen. A 9- word window control area has been allocated to the host; the contents of these 9 words can be changed from the Host to open, close, and move win- dows.

The V2 versions are compatible with the high-speed 1:N NT Link as well as the earlier standard 1:N NT Link.

Operands (values referenced by formula) can be registered to allow the PT to perform calculations automatically and write the results of those calculations to numeral memory tables or words in the host.
