5-2SectionConnecting to the Host’s RS-422A/485 Port
117
When connecting to the host with the memory link method, it is necessary to
create a program for the memory link at the host side.
The following are the communication conditions that can be used with the
memory link method. For the host (a personal computer, an FA computer, etc.),
its setting should be compatible to one of the communication conditions listed in
the following table. Set the same communication conditions at the NT31/NT31C
by the memory switch. (page 165).
Item Setting at Host
Input/Output board RS-422A
Communication speed 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 bps.
Data bits length 7 bits, 8 bits
Stop bits length 1 bit, 2 bits
Parity None, even, odd
Flow control None, XON/XOFF
