Connecting to the Host’s RS-422A/485 Port Section 5-2
Setting the Front Switches
C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E, CPM1, CPM2A, CPM2C, CQM1H, or SRM1
The connection method depends upon the model of PLC being used, as
shown in the following table.
Reference: • There are no Communications Boards for the C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E in
which port B is the RS-422A port.
• There are no Serial Communications Boards for the CQM1H in which port
1 is the RS-422A port.
PLC model Connection method
C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E • Connect to the RS-422A port (port A) on a Communica-
tions Board.
CQM1H • Connect to the RS-422A port (port 2) on a Serial Commu-
nications Board.
CPM1 • Connect to the peripheral port through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-
422A Adapter.
CPM2A, SRM1 • Connect to the peripheral port through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-
422A Adapter.
CPM2C • Connect to the peripheral port (on a CPM2C-CN111 or
CS1W-CN114 Connecting Cable) through a CPM1-CIF11
RS-422A Adapter.
(The CPM2C-CN111 splits the Unit’s communications port
into a RS-232C port and a peripheral port.)
I/O port selector switch
RS-422A
Set this to RS-422A.
• Host link default value settings
(DIP SW4)
Note
- Existing DIP switch settings:
- PLC Setup default values:
RS-232C
• Terminator setting (DIP SW6)
Set this switch to ON.
(for host link communications)
• Host link communication method
selection (selector switch)
• Communications type setting (DIP
SW3) Set SW3 to OFF.
To effect the existing DIP switch
settings, set SW4 to ON.
To effect the values set in the PLC
Setup, set SW4 to OFF.
For CPU Units manufactured before or
during June 1995 (lot No. jj65), the
existing DIP switch settings differ from
the PLC Setup default values as follows.
2,400 bps, 1 stop bit, even parity, 7 bit
data length
9,600 bps, 2 stop bits, even parity, 7 bit
data length
For CPU Units manufactured from July
1995 onward (lot No. jj75), the stipulated
values in the DIP switch settings also are
9600 bps and 2 stop bits.
