When connecting PTs with model numbers 3 to 6 to port 1, for example, set the
value 8200 Hex to DM32000, 0000 Hex to DM32001, and 0006 Hex to
DM32006.
Connecting to CS1 Series Serial Communication Unit
A CS1 series backplane mounted type : CS1W-SCU21
Setting the Front Switches
Set the unit number of the serial communication unit by using the rotary switch
located on the front panel. Set each switch with a flat blade screwdriver so that
the values or symbols in the setting value window agree with the following.
Set the unit number to 0 through F so
that it will not overlap with the numbers
used in other units.

Allocation DM Area Settings for CPU
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, the channel numbers of the allocation DM area and settings are
shown.

0000 and 0009 Hex.
Using the High-speed NT Link (1:N) Method
Compatible Host Units
Only the -V1 versions of OMRON’s CS1H and CS1G PCs support the high-
speed 1:N NT Link directly. Other CS1-series PCs can use the high-speed 1:N
NT Link indirectly through a CS1W-SCU21 Serial Communications Unit. (If a
Serial Communications Unit is used, even CS1-series Units without the “-V1”
suffix can be connected via high-speed 1:N NT Link.)
Be sure to check the model number of the PC and Serial Communications
Board/Unit before trying to establish the high-speed 1:N NT Link.
The following table shows which CS1-series PCs can be connected to an
NT31/NT31C with the high-speed 1:N NT Link.
