Setting the Front Panel Switches
• Using RS-232C
Set the unit number of the Serial Communications Unit with the rotary switches on the front
of the Unit. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to set the numerals and symbols in the switches set-
ting display window, as follows:
Unit number setting
Set a value between 0 and F that is not the same
as that of other Units in the system.
Connecting to CJ-series Serial Communications Units
CJ-series Units:
CJ1W-SCU41 (Port 1 is an RS-422A port and Port 2 is an RS-232C port.)
CJ1W-SCU31 (Both ports 1 and 2 are RS-422A ports.)
CPU Unit DM Area Settings
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.
The allocations and settings are the same for RS-232C and RS-422A.
m = 30000 + 100 × unit number
Allocated DM Area words

DM m + 1 DM m + 11 0000 to 0009 (See note 1.) Baud rate (normal)
DM m + 6 DM m + 16
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.
