NT Link (1:N) Systems

Host link and NT link (1:1) communications can be performed with RS-422A by using an RS-232C/RS-422A converter unit (type NT-AL001), but communica- tions with RS-485 are not possible. For details on the wiring for RS-422A, refer to “Appendix F Connecting to an RS-232C/RS-422A Converter Unit” (page 275 of the appendix).

When NT600S is connected to a PC in a 1:N connection, use an RS-232C cable and RS-422A/485 cables.

RS-232C cable (max. length: 2 m)

C200HX/HG/HE

OMRON PC

Controls the NT600S as required during machine control, line monitoring, etc.

C200HX/HG/HE can be used.

(*1) : Total cable length: 500

(*2) : For connection to an NT600S-ST121(B)-V , a separate power supply is required.

NT600S

In an NT link (1:N), up to eight NT600S units can be connected to one PC port.

NT600S

In addition to applications such as monitoring production lines and displaying messages such as instructions transmitted to the workplace, also notifies the ON/OFF status of switches and numerical input to the PC.

Support tool

Personal computer (support tool)

Connected to the NT600S when necessary to transmit created screens to the NT600S screens and set NT600S settings.

Personal computer: IBM PC/AT or compatible

Support tool: NT-ZA3AT-EV2

Reference When connecting the C200HX/HG/HE and an RS-232C/RS-422 converter unit, use a converter unit whose lot number is 15Y5 or later. Converter units of lot num- bers previous to 15Y5 cannot be connected.
