5-1-1 The Type of Host and Settings
Note One end of the wire must always be connected to the host (PLC), and there must
be no branching. Branching will cause problems such as transmission delays
and communication failures.

Use the 1:N connection NT Link method (standard or high-speed) instead to
make the 1:1 connection. For details, refer to Using the NT link (1:N) method
(page 70) or Using the High-speed NT link (1:N) method (page 73).
The using condition is the same as the connecting PT side RS-232C and the
host side RS-232C.
For the available type and settings of the host, refer to the pages listed below.
