Page 10: General Precautions
You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying Programmable Terminals to the above mentioned applications. WARNING Do not use input functions such as PT touch switches for applications where danger to human life or serious damage is possible, or for emergency switch applications.
Page 11 Safety Precautions (continued) WARNING: Do not attempt to take the NT600S apart and do not touch any internal parts while the power is being supplied. Doing either of these may result in electri- cal shock. Switch off the power before replacing the backlight, or you could sustain an electric shock.
Page 12 Safety Precautions (continued) 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. Do not install the NT600S at sites subject to the following conditions, or the product may malfunction: Severe temperature variations Temperatures or humidities outside the ranges stated in the specifications...
Page 13 Safety Precautions (continued) Do not disassemble for repairs or modification, or the product may malfunc- tion. The disposal of the NT600S (and used backlights) may be regulated by na- tional or local authorities. Dispose of them in accordance with the laws and regulations of the relevant country and local authority.

Page 27: Direct Connection Function
Section 1-4 Direct Connection Function The communication method applied between the NT600S and the PC is either a host link or NT link or C200H or RS232C direct. The following deals with the ”direct access” available when a host link, NT link, or C200H direct is used, and the communication with a PC.
Page 28: What Is The Nt Link (1:N)
Section 1-4 2-4-1 What is the NT Link (1:N) The NT link uses the direct connection function and can execute high-speed com- munications with the CPU units (with built-in host link) of the CPM1, CQM1, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE, or CVM1/CV series. When using the NT600S in an NT link, two communications modes are possible: a single NT600S can be connected to one PC (1:1 NT link), or alternatively, up to eight NT600S units can be connected to a single PC port (1:N NT link).
Page 29: C200H Direct Communication
Section 1-4 2-4-2 C200H Direct Communication C200H direct communication allows communication with C H, C200H, and C200HS CPU units by using the “direct connection” function. Advantage of C200H Direct Communication Since an I/O connecting cable is used for connection to each CPU unit, high- speed communication is possible.
Page 30: Functions Of The Allocated Bits And Words
Section 1-5 Functions of the Allocated Bits and Words Elements displayed on the NT600S and the NT600S status can be allocated to the bits and words of the PC. By changing the contents of the bits and words, the NT600S can be controlled by the PC.

While the touch switch is pressed, the PC’s notification bit turns ON (1), and when it is released, the bit turns OFF (0).
Page 32 Section 1-5 Functions of the PT Status Control Area (PC to NT600S) The “PT status control area” is used to control the NT600S status. When data is written to this area in the PC, the NT600S reads the contents and operates accord- ing to the contents.
Page 33: Communications By Rs-232C
!"#" Section 1-6 Communications by RS-232C Control of the NT600S by a Host is executed by two kinds of commands supported by the RS-232C interface which is built into the NT600S.

Section 4-8 Upper/lower limit check (only when using direct connection) By setting a maximum value and minimum value for input numerical values, the storage of erroneous values outside the applicable range in numeral memory tables and their notification to the PC/Host can be prevented. The upper/lower limit check is executed when an input numerical value is con- firmed.
Page 165 Section 4-8 Upper/lower limit check An upper/lower limit check is executed when the incrementing/decrementing (+, --) keys are pressed. If the input numerical value is outside the valid range, the data in the numeral memory table before the key was pressed is redisplayed and notified to the host.

% $ Appendix I APPENDIX I NT600S Internal Processing When Host/NT link or C200H direct is used, the following processing is executed inside the NT600S. Processing is divided into two types: periodic processing and event processing. Periodic Processing (When Using Direct Connection) The following processing is executed inside the NT600S to enable high-speed control from the PC.
Page 297 % $ Appendix I Number of words for screen element registration The number of words used for screen element registration is as follows. Allocated words: Number of words Allocated bits : Number of words calculated by summing the number of bits in each area and taking 1 word to be 16 bits.
Page 298 % $ Appendix I Reference Only the bit and numeral/character-string memory table data of elements current- ly being used in the screen display is written to the PC. If the contents of a numer- al/character-string memory table that is not being used for display change, the new data is not written to the PC.
