When connecting to a C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E or CPM1, CPM2A, CPM2C,
CQM1H CPU Units or SRM1, set the following communications conditions for
the PLC Setup area.
*1
Set the host link communications speed at 9600 bps or 19200 bps with the
Comm. Speed at the NT631/NT631C. For details, refer to 6-7-2 Setting the
Host Link Method (page 155).
Set the PLC Setup area settings directly from a Programming Device (e.g.
CX-Programmer).
