2-16-9 Programming Console Function
As an expansion function, the NT21, NT31/NT31C, and NT631/NT631C feature
the Programming Console function, which allows to be used in place of a
C200H-PRO27-E Programming Console.
The following table shows the combinations of communications methods and
PCs that can support the PT’s Programming Console function.

*1: A Programming Console connected to the peripheral port always takes priority.
When a Programming Console is connected later, the PT’s Programming
Console function will become ineffective and operations from the PT will be
disabled. Also, the PT cannot be connected through a Serial Communications
Board’s RS-232C port.
*2: It is possible to connect to the RS-232C port by connecting a CPM2C-CN111
Conversion Cable, which splits the PC’s communications connector into a
peripheral port and RS-232C port.
*3: An RS-232C cable cannot be connected directly to the peripheral port. A
CPM1-CIF01 RS-232C Adapter is required.
*4: An RS-232C cable cannot be connected directly to the peripheral port. A
CS1W-CN118 RS-232C Adapter is required.
Reference: The Programming Console function is not supported by the following CPUs:
CPM1: 5 and 6 (: 1 to 9, X, or Y)
CQM1: 3, 4, 5, and 6 (: 1 to 9, X, or Y)
C200HX/HG/HE: 5 and 6 (: 1 to 9, or X)
Most of Programming Console functions are possible, with the exception of re-
cording (storing) ladder programs on cassette tape and replaying (reading)
them.
