Connecting to the Host's RS-422A/485 Port

The methods for connecting the RS-422A/485 port of the NT31/NT31C and the
RS-422A/485 port of the host are described here. There are the following meth-
ods.
The following discussion is focused on the connection method to OMRON PCs
(By using the memory link method, a connection can be made to any arbitrary
RS-422 unit). When making a connection to a host other than OMRON PCs, refer
to the " PC Connection" (V042-E1-j).
S Method in which the RS-422A ports of the NT31/NT31C and host are connected
directly by an RS-422A cable (page 133).
When this method is used, the cable length can be extended up to 500 m.

(max. 500 m)
S Method in which the RS-485 ports of the NT31/NT31C and host are connected
by an RS-485 cable (page 138).
When this method is used, the cable length can be extended up to 500 m.
This connection method canbe used only with the NT link (1:N) method of type
RS-485.

S Method in which the RS-422A ports of multiple NT31/NT31Cs and the RS-422A
port of the host are connected in a 1:N connection (page 139).
This connection method is used with the RS-422A type NT link (1:N) method.

(max. total length 500 m)
S Method in which the RS-485 ports of multiple NT31/NT31Cs and the RS-485
port of the host are connected in a 1:N connection (page 142).
This connection method is used with the with the RS-485 type NT link (1:N)
method.
