Example of Good Connection Examples of Bad Connections
Reference: CS1 series CPUs cannot be connected with the 1:1 connection NT link method.
Use the 1:N connection NT Link method (standard or high-speed) instead to
make the 1:1 connection. For details, refer to Using the NT link (1:N) method
(page 72) or Using the High-speed NT link (1:N) method (page 75).
5-1-1 The Type of Host and Settings
The using condition is the same as the connecting PT side RS-232C and the
host side RS-232C.
For the available type and settings of the host, refer to the pages listed below.
