Introduction
The RS-232C port and peripheral port built into the C200HX/HG/HE PC’s CPU
Unit support the following communications functions:
•
Communications with Programming Devices (e.g., Programming Console or
SSS.)
•
Host Link communications with personal computers and other external de-
vices.
•
RS-232C (no-protocol) communications with personal computers and other
external devices.
•
One-to-one link communications with another PC.
•
NT link communications (one-to-one or one-to-N) with Programmable Termi-
nals (PTs) equipped with an NT link interface.
In addition to these communications functions, optional Communications
Boards that support Protocol Macros can be installed in most C200HX/HG/HE
PCs.
The following table summarizes the communications functions.

Host Link
Host computer or PT
One-to-one
or One-to-N
Provides communications between a
host computer and PC.
The PC’s operating status and the
contents of data areas can be moni-
tored from the host computer.
TXD(––) can be used to transmit data
from the PC’s data areas to the host
computer.

TXD(––)
RS-232C
(no protocol)
Host computer or
other RS-232C device
One-to-one
TXD(––) and RXD(––) can be used to
manage simple data transfer se-
quences such as inputs from bar code
readers or outputs to printers.
Control signals RS, CS, ER, and DR
can be controlled by the instructions.
TXD(––), RXD(––)
One-to-one Link
PC
One-to-one
Makes a one-to-one connection be-
tween two PCs using the LR areas of
the PCs.

NT Link
PT
One-to-one
or One-to-N
Provides data transfers between the
PC and one or more PTs.

Protocol Macro
Other serial device
One-to-one
or One-to-N
The Protocol Macro function allows
the user to define separate data trans-
fer sequences and transfer mes-
sages.
Up to 1,000 communications se-
quences can be registered.
A support program is provided that
simplifies creation of communications
sequences.
