3-3 Connecting the NS-Designer
Use an RS-232C or Ethernet cable to connect the PT and computer so that screen data that
has been created with the NS-Designer can be transferred to the PT.
Connect the RS-232C cable from the computer to serial port A or B. The cable can be con-
nected to either serial port A or B.
Units that support Ethernet communications can also be connected to the computer via the
Ethernet and screen data transferred.
· Communications Conditions
The communications conditions must be set from the PT and FinsGateway. (When using
Ethernet, the settings must be set from the NS-Designer and the project data transferred to
the PT.) For details, refer to Section 10 Transferring Data to and from PTs in the NS-Designer
Operation Manual.
· Recommended Connecting Cables
Use the following cables when connecting via RS-232C.
XW2Z-S002 (OMRON, cable length: 2 m)
(D-Sub male 9-pin and D-Sub female 9-pin, for IBM PC/AT or compatible computers
and NX computers in the PC-9800 Series)
For details on preparing connecting cables, refer to Appendix 4 Preparing Connecting Ca-
bles.
Reference
When connecting two computers in series to a single PT, data cannot be transferred using the se-
rial cables.
Example: When a PT is connected in series to the computer’s COM1 and COM2 por
