The NT21 does not have a built-in clock and instead uses the clock data from the
PC. The seconds, minutes, hour, day, month, year, and day of week data is read
from the PC into a Clock Data Area.
The NT21 periodically updates the data in the Clock Data Area, storing the data
in numeral table entries 247 to 253. These table entries are used to read the
clock data. When displaying the time or date on the NT21 or when using the
screen display history or alarm history, allocate the Clock Data Area in PC
memory and periodically update the contents of the allocated words in the PC
using the PC's ladder diagram. (The structure of the clock data in the NT21 is the
same as the structure of the words containing the clock data in the PC. If these
words are allocated for the Clock Data Area, then periodic updating from the lad-
der diagram is not necessary.

Installing a system program for multi-venders by using a specific system installer
enables the NT31/NT31C or NT631/NT631C to be connected to the PCs of oth-
er companies in direct connection. This system installer is supplied with the Sup-
port Tool (NT-ZJCAT1-EV4). (The NT21 does not support this function.)
The NT31/NT31C and NT631/NT631C can be connected to the following Mitsu-
bishi PCs.
Mitsubishi A-series programmable controller (computer link module)
Mitsubishi FX-series programmable controller
