ries CPU Units:
CS1W-SCB41 (Port 2 is an RS-422A/485 port.)
Reference: Serial Communications Boards and Serial Communications Units with lot num-
ber 991220 (12/20/99) and later support the high-speed 1:N NT Link. Boards and
Units with earlier lot numbers cannot be used.

CPU 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. After the setting is written, it becomes effective by turning the power ON,
restarting the unit, restarting the communication port, or execution of the STUP
command.
In the following table, the relevant word addresses in the allocation DM area and
settings are shown.

000j
j = The largest model number of the
connected PT (0 – 7)
For example, when connecting PTs with model numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 to port 2,
set the value 8200 Hex to DM32010, 000A Hex to DM32011, and 0006 Hex to
DM32016.
With the memory link method, the connection can be made to a personal com-
puter and an FA computer with RS-422A.
