3-5-2 Connecting the NT600S

Caution

Note

Refer to the illustrations below to select the appropriate cable for the unit connec- tors and connect the NT600S to the PC.

A host link connector cable can also be used. To make a connector cable, refer to Appendix E Method for Making the Cable for Connection to the PC/Host (page 264).

After connecting a communication cable, always secure it with the screws.

￿Otherwise the cable may disconnect, causing operation to fail.

The cable’s tensile load is 30 N. Do not subject it to loads greater than this. Otherwise a discontinuity may occur, causing operation to fail.

Before inserting or removing the connectors, make sure that the NT600S and the PC are turned OFF.

Use a connector cable with a 9-pin connector on both ends to connect the NT600S to a PC with a 9-pin connector.

The following are the recommended cables (manufactured by OMRON).

Connector Specification	Model	Cable Length
9pin ￿9pin	XW2Z-200T	2 m
	XW2Z-500T	5 m

If a Cable Longer Than 5 m is Required

If a cable longer than 5 m is required, a connector cable will have to be made. Refer to Appendix E Method for Making the Cable for Connection to the PC/Host (page 264).

The maximum transmission distance is 15 m.

When Long-Distance Transmission is Required

When transmission over a distance exceeding the RS-232C specification is re- quired, it can be achieved by using an RS-232C/RS-422A converter unit (type NT- AL001) to switch to RS-422A communication (RS-485 communication cannot be used).

For details, refer to “Appendix F Connecting to an RS-232C/RS-422 Converter Unit” (page 275 of the appendix).
