  • Page 24 Communications Board. In addition, some C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E devices have an integral CPU Unit that can be connected in the host link method by installing a Communications Board. With the CPM2A and CPM2C, an RS-422A type of 1:1 NT Link can be created through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-422A Adapter.
  • Page 25 Check the model and series of the PLC and the type of the installed Board or Unit before making a connection. The PLC Units that provide an RS-422A Host Link interface and that can be connected to an NS-series PT port to which an RS-232C/RS422A Link Adaptor (NS-AL002) is connected are listed in the following table.

  • Page 34 Unit # 00 Connecting to a CPM2C The CPM2C PLCs do not have the same kind of port connectors found on CS-series PLCs. The CPM2C’s communications port handles both RS-232C and peripheral port connections which are divided internally. Therefore, when using the CPM2C, it is necessary to select RS-232C or peripheral port connections, according to the kind of cable and port (on the cable) used, as shown in the following table.
  • Page 35 Settings are written from the Programming Device (a Programming Console or CX-Programmer) directly into the allocation DM area (system setting area) of the CPU Unit. After the settings are written, they become effective by turning the power ON, restarting the unit, restarting the communications port, or executing the STUP command.
