Refer to the manual for individual device for information on the equipment other than the NT600S in the system. Reference The following four communication methods are supported for communications between the NT600S and PC/Host: host link, NT link, RS-232C, and C200H direct.
Section 1-3 Reference Host link and NT link (1:1) communications can be performed with RS-422A by using an RS-232C/RS-422A converter unit (type NT-AL001), but communications with RS-485 are not possible. For details on the wiring for RS-422A, refer to “Appendix F Connecting to an RS-232C/RS-422A Converter Unit” (page 275 of the appendix). NT Link (1:N) Systems When NT600S is connected to a PC in a 1:N connection, use an RS-232C cable and RS-422A/485 cables.
Section 1-3 When using the C200H Direct Communication Function Use an I/O connecting cable for the connection to the PC, and an RS-232C cable for connection to the Host. PC made by OMRON Controls the NT600S as required for machine control, line monitoring, etc.
2-4 Section 1-4 Direct Connection Function The communication method applied between the NT600S and the PC is either a host link or NT link or C200H or RS232C direct. The following deals with the ”direct access” available when a host link, NT link, or C200H direct is used, and the communication with a PC.
2-4-1 Section 1-4 What is the NT Link (1:N) The NT link uses the direct connection function and can execute high-speed communications with the CPU units (with built-in host link) of the CPM1, CQM1, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE, or CVM1/CV series. When using the NT600S in an NT link, two communications modes are possible: a single NT600S can be connected to one PC (1:1 NT link), or alternatively, up to eight NT600S units can be connected to a single PC port (1:N NT link).
2-4-2 Section 1-4 C200H Direct Communication H, C200H, and C200H direct communication allows communication with C C200HS CPU units by using the “direct connection” function. Advantage of C200H Direct Communication Since an I/O connecting cable is used for connection to each CPU unit, highspeed communication is possible.
