Connection to a PC by the Host Link
Section 2-4
2-4-2 Connecting the NT20S
Refer to the illustrations below to select the appropriate cable for the unit connec-
tors and connect the NT20S to the PC/Host.
To make a connector cable, refer to Appendix G Method for Making the Cable for
Connection to the Host (page 256).
Caution: S After connecting the communication cable, always secure it with the screws.
Otherwise the cable may disconnect, causing operation to fail.
S The cable’s tensile load is 30 N. Do not subject it to loads greater than this.
Otherwise a discontinuity may occur, causing operation to fail.
Connecting to a PC with a 25-pin Connector
Use a connector cable with a 25-pin connector on one end and a 9-pin connector
on the other end (NT20S side) to connect the NT20S to a PC with a 25-pin connec-
tor.
