Connecting to the Host's RS-422A/485 Port
The host link method cannot be used when an NT631/NT631C is connected using
RS-485. To use the host link method, connect by RS-422A.
S Settings at the host
When using the RS-422A type host link method, the settings shown below must
be made at the host (depending on the unit, some of these settings may not be
necessary, or settings not shown here may be necessary).

possible to connect more than one NT631/NT631C in a single host link.
The setting methods for each type of unit are described in the following.
