    CHAPTER 1 Connectable Hardware Combinations This chapter describes the connectable hardware combinations for each type of PT and each connection method. It also de- scribes the types of system program used with NT30/NT30C, NT620S/NT620C.
  • Page 10: Possible Combinations

    : Connection not possible (*1) In order to use NT30/NT30C, NT620S/NT620C in multi-vendor systems, a dedicated system program must be installed in the PT using the “NT series system installer”. The relationship between the PCs that can be connected and the direct connection version is shown in the table below.
  • Page 11: Installing The System Program

    Mitsubishi FX series NT620-ZS3AT-EMV1 Mitsubishi A series For details on how to operate the system installer, refer to its instruction manual, or the PT Operation manual. Reference: Since NT20S and NT600S already have a dedicated system program written into them, this installation is not required for them. However, some PT models cannot be used in multi-vendor systems: check the situation for the model used by refer- ring to “1-1 Possible Combinations”...

    NT-ZA3AT-EV2 (Ver.2.3j) The programmable controllers (PC) that can be connected to the PT are deter- mined by the “Direct Macn Type” data set in the screen data memory board. Ac- cordingly, screen data complying with the programmable controller to be con- nected must be transferred to the PT in advance.
