Yes: Connection is possible. No: Connection is not possible.
Note: Possible only with the NS15-TX01@-V2.
• The NS-AL002, NT-AL001, or CJ1W-CIF11 is connected directly to the serial port of
the PT and power is supplied from pin 6 of the port.
• When there are multiple serial ports and Ethernet Units for a single host, each port can
be used to communicate with separate PTs. This type of communications method,
however, will reduce the communications performance at the host.
• RS-422A and RS-232C are isolated in the NT-AL001, but they are not isolated in the
NS-AL002 and CJ1W-CIF11.
• The total transmission distance with the NT-AL001 or NS-AL002 is 500 m. The total
transmission distance of the CJ1W-CIF11, however, is only 50 m. If the transmission
path contains both the NT-AL001/NS-AL002 and the CJ1W-CIF11, then the total
transmission distance is 50 m.
