2-3 System Configuration

Section 1-3

2-3 System Configuration

This section gives the basic configuration of a system which uses an NT600S. Refer to the manual for individual device for information on the equipment other thanthe NT600S in the system.

Reference The following four communication methods are supported for communications between the NT600S and PC/Host: host link, NT link, RS-232C, and C200H di- rect. For the setting procedure, refer to Section 4-6 Setting the Conditions of Communications with the PC/Host by Using the Memory Switches (page 83). It is impossible to connect a personal computer used to drive the support tool and

a PC/Host at the same time.

Typical option devices for the NT600S include the following.

Backlight (spare for LCD type)	NT600S-CFL01 (white lamp)
Reflection-suppressing protective sheet	NT600M-KBA04 (5 sheets/pack)
Battery	C500-BAT08
Chemical-resistant cover	NT600S-KBA01
	(made of silicone rubber)
C200H I/F Unit	NT-LB122

It is also possible to use the NTM support tool Ver.4.2. However, some restric- tions apply when the NTM support tool is used. Refer to 4-8-5 Setting the Sup- port Tool Mode (page 99) and Appendix G (page 277).

When using the Host Link/NT Link (1:1) Function

Use an RS-232C cable for connection to the PC/Host

OMRON’s PC

Controls NT600S as required while controlling machines and monitoring the production line.

With host link: C series, CVM1/CV series PC

The NT600S can be connected to CPU units and host link units.

However, there are some models to which connection is not possible (see page 31).

With NT link: CPM1, CQM1, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE, CVM1/CV series PCs

The NT600S can be connected to a CPU unit. However, there are some CPU unit models to which connection is not possible (see page 43).

RS-232C cable (for host link)

Support tool

NT600S

Gives displays of production line monitoring and instructions to the operation site and notifies the switch ON/OFF status and numeric value inputs to the PC.

Computer (support tool)

Connected to NT600S as required and used to transfer the NT600S screens and make settings for the NT600S.

Computer : IBM PC/AT or compatible

Support tool : Type NT-ZA3AT-EV2
