Boards and Units with earlier lot numbers cannot be used.
Setting the Front Switches
Set the switches on the Serial Communications Board as shown below.
2-wire or 4-wire selector (WIRE): (4-wire = RS-422A), or
(2-wire = RS-485)
Terminating resistance switch (TERM): ON (terminator ON = terminating
resistance enabled)
CPU Unit Allocation DM Area Settings
Setting is written from the Programming Device (a Programming Console or
CX-Programmer) directly into the allocation DM area (system setting area) of
the CPU Unit. After the setting is written, it becomes effective by turning the
power ON, restarting the Unit, restarting the communications port, or execu-
tion of the STUP command.
In the following table, the relevant word addresses in the allocation DM area
