USB Connection to an NE1A-series Controller
The Network Configurator can be used by connecting to the USB port on the
NE1A-series Controller. Remote configuration and monitoring are supported
for not only the Controller connected to the USB port but also for other
devices on the network. For a USB connection, the Network Configurator
does not use a node address on the network.
Serial Connection to an OMRON PLC
The Network Configurator can be used by connecting to a serial port on an
OMRON PLC. Remote configuration and monitoring are supported for stan-
dard nodes and safety nodes on the network. For a PLC connection, the Net-
work Configurator does not use a node address on the network.
