Connecting to CS-series Serial Communications Units
CS-series Rack-mounted Type:
CS1W-SCU21 (Both ports 1 and 2 are RS-232C ports.)
CS1W-SCU31 (Both ports 1 and 2 are RS-422A ports.)
CPU Unit DM Area Settings
• Using RS-232C
Write the settings directly from the Programming Device or Support Software (Programming
Console or CX-Programmer) to the DM Area (Parameter Area) in the CPU Unit. After writing
the settings, enable the settings by turning ON the power again, restarting the Unit, restart-
ing the communications port, or executing the CHANGE SERIAL PORT SETUP (STUP) in-
struction.
The following table shows the allocated DM Area words and settings.

000@ @: Largest unit number (1 to 7) of the
connected PTs. (See note 2.)
Note 1. Set the baud rate to a numeric value between 0000 to 0009 Hex. (The setting is the same for
any value between 0000 and 0009 Hex.)
2. When using a 1:N connection, set the value for @ to 1 or higher.
Reference When setting a 1:N NT Link in the CX-Programmer, set the baud rate to 38,400 bps.
