Connecting to the Host’s RS-422A/485 Port Section 5-2
When Using the Host Link
Method
Compatible Host Units
Some models and series of OMRON PLCs have the RS-422A/485 type host
link function built in. With the CS/CJ-series and CQM1H, the host link method
can be used by installing a Serial Communications Board/Unit. In addition,
some C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E PLCs can be connected using the host link
method by installing a Communications Board.
With the CPM2A and CPM2C, an RS-422A type of 1:1 NT Link can be cre-
ated through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-422A Adapter.
Check the model and series of the PLC and the type of the installed Board or
Unit before making a connection.
The Host Units featuring the RS-422A/485 host link function that can be con-
nected to the RS-422A/485 port of the NT31/NT31C are listed in the table
