NS Series
2
Network
Provides serial NT Link communications supporting both 1:1 and 1:N connections. The NT Link has more efficient communications than Host Link
and its capabilities are especially apparent in applications with multiple PTs connect to the PLC. The NS-series PTs can also support
communications with multiple PLCs and multiple NS-series PTs through Controller Link and Ethernet connections, so the network can be
configured freely to match the requirements and scale of the application. In addition, using the NS-Runtime makes it possible to monitor machine
status and log data from the host.
Configuration of CJ2 series, NJ series and NX series
If an Ethernet-compatible NS-series PT is used, the PT can connect to a Controller with built-in EtherNet/IP and an Option Unit is not needed to
connect at the PT.
