When connecting PT with its model number 0, 2-5 to the built-in RS-232C
port, for example, set the value 8200 Hex to 160 CH, and 0005 Hex to 166CH.
Either set PLC Setup directly from a Programming Device (Programming Con-
sole), or transmit the PLC Setup made at a Programming Device (CX-Pro-
grammer) to the CPU Unit.
For details on the PLC Setup, refer to the SYSMAC CS Series Operation
Manual (W339) or the SYSMAC CJ Series Operation Manual (W393).
Setting the Front Switches
Set the CPU Unit's DIP switch to 4 or 5 in accordance with the port NT631/
NT631C is connected to. An example of a CS-series CPU Unit is shown
below.
