3-6 Connection to a PC by the NT Link (1:N)

Connect the NT600S to an OMRON PC by the NT link method.

To connect the NT600S to a PC by the NT link (1:N) method, the communication conditions must be set with the memory switches.

3-6-1 Compatible PCs

The only OMRON PCs that can be connected in an NT link (1:N) are the C series C200HX/HG/HE models. When making a connection, check the series and model of the PC to which the connection is being made, and the type of host link unit that is installed.

The following is a list of the PCs that can be connected to the NT600S via a host link (1:N).

3-6-2 Connecting the NT600S Units

Referring to the illustrations below and using a cable appropriate for the CPU unit’s connector, connect the NT600S units and the PC using RS-232C/RS-422A con- verter units (type NT-AL001).

An NT link connection cable can be used as the RS-232C cable. For details on making a connection cable, refer to Appendix E “Method for Making the Cable for Connection to the Host” (page 264).

Caution After connecting the communication cable, be sure to lock the connectors 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.
