Connecting to a CS-series Serial Communications Board
Serial Communications Board equipped with an RS-422A/485 port for CS-
series CPU Units:
CS1W-SCB41(-V1) (Port 2 is an RS-422A/485 port.)
Reference: CS-series Serial Communications Boards and Units with lot number 991220
(12/20/99) and later support the high-speed 1:N NT Link. Boards and Units
with earlier lot numbers cannot be used.
Setting the Front Switches
Set the switches on a Serial Communications Board as follows.
2-wire or 4-wire selector (WIRE): (4-wire = RS-422A), or
(2-wire = RS-485)
Terminating resistance switch (TERM): ON (terminator ON = terminating
resistance enabled).
Allocation DM area settings for CPU Unit
Settings are written from the Programming Device (a Programming Console
or CX-Programmer) directly into the allocation DM area (system setting area)
of the CPU Unit. After settings are written, they become effective by turning
the power ON, restarting the Unit, restarting the communications port, or exe-
cuting the STUP command.
In the following table, the relevant word addresses in the allocation DM area
and settings are shown.
