2-5 Communications Address Settings
NS-series PTs have improved network functions and can communicate with multiple hosts. Host
names are registered for the connected hosts and any area in the host can be accessed by specifying
the host name and area.
With NS-series PTs, data required for display can be accessed and the words and bits that store the
entered data can be allocated from any area in the PLC.
The allocated words and bits are read from and written to directly, the display status changed for the
objects on the PT screen, and the PT status controlled or reported.
Refer to System Settings and Project Properties and Creating Functional Objects in the CX-Designer
Online Help for details on registering hosts and setting addresses.
Refer to the Host Connection Manual: Temp. Control, MemLink for details on connecting Temperature
Controllers. Refer to the Host Connection Manual: Multivendor Connection for details on connecting to
another company’s PLC.
