The same baud rate will be used regardless of the value as long as it is between
0000 and 0009 Hex.
For example, when connecting PTs with model numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 to port 2,
set DM 32010 to 8200 Hex, DM 32011 to 0000 Hex, and DM 32016 to 0006 Hex.
Using the High-speed 1:N NT Link Method
Compatible Host Units
The OMRON PCs that can be connected using the high-speed RS-422A/485
1:N NT Link are the CS-series (CS1G/H and CS1G/H-H), CJ-series CJ1G mod-
els only. With the CS-series, a CS1W-SCB41-E Serial Communications Board
must be used. With the CJ-series, a CJ1W-SCU41 Serial Communications Unit
must be used. (If a Serial Communications Board is used, even CS-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 Board/Unit before trying to
establish the high-speed 1:N NT Link.
The following table shows which Units can be connected as hosts to the NT21
with the high-speed 1:N NT Link through the RS-422A/RS-485 port.

Settings at the Host
Connecting to a CJ-series Serial Communications Unit
CJ-series: CJ1W-SCU41 (Port 1 is an RS-422A/485 port.)
Setting the Front Switches
Set the unit number of the Serial Communications Unit with the rotary switch on
the front of the Unit. Set the unit number with a flat blade screwdriver. Also, set
the communications mode switch to select 2-wire (RS-485) or 4-wire (RS-422A)
communications and set the terminator switch to enable or disable the terminat-
ing resistance.
Unit number switch
Set the a unique unit number between
0 and F so that it will not duplicate the
numbers used in other units.
Terminal resistance switch (TERM)
Set to ON (Terminal resistance is present.)
Communications mode switch (WIRE)
For RS-422A: 4 (4-wire)
For RS-485: 2 (2-wire)
