Connecting Programmable Terminals Section 4-10
Programming Console
Connection
The CQM1H CPU Unit can be connected to a Programming Console as
shown below.
Note When connecting the CQM1H to a Programming Console, be sure to turn
OFF pin 7 on the DIP switch (factory setting). If pin 7 is ON, it will not be pos-
sible to use a Programming Console.
4-10 Connecting Programmable Terminals
The different communications configurations available for communications
with a Programming Terminal (PT) are shown in the following table.
Note 1. When communicating via a 1:1-mode NT Link, connect to the port on the
PT that supports this mode. Communications will not be possible if con-
nection is made to a port that supports only 1:N-mode communications.
2. When communicating via a 1:N-mode NT Link, connect to the port on the
PT that supports this mode. Communications will not be possible if con-
nection is made to a port that does not support this mode (e.g., the RS-
232C port on the NT30/NT30C supports only 1:1 communications).
3. The NT20S, NT600S, NT30, NT30C, NT620S, NT620C, and NT625C can-
not be used if the cycle time of the CPU Unit is 800 ms or longer (even if
only one of these PTs is used in a 1:N NT Link.)
4. The Programming Console functions of the PT (Expansion Mode) cannot
be used when connected to Serial Communications Board ports. They can
be used only by connecting to the RS-232C port on the CPU Unit.
Turn ON pin 7 on the DIP switch on the CPU Unit when using the Program-
ming Console function of the PT.
5. Set a unique unit number for each PT connected to the same PC. If the
same unit number is set for more than one PT, malfunctions will occur.
