Functions of the DeviceNet (CompoBus/D) Interface Unit

Item
With DeviceNet Interface Unit
With Regular Memory Link
Simultaneous use
with the Memory
Unit
Possible
The Memory Unit cannot be used because the
DeviceNet Interface Unit also uses the
Expansion Interface Connector on the back of
the PT. (It is possible to reconnect the Memory
Unit and save data such as the DeviceNet
Interface Unit’s screen data.)
Use of the RS-422A
port
Possible (for communications with the host)
Not possible (A bar code reader or computer
running Support Tool can be connected to the
RS-232C port.)
Any functions that are not listed in the table above are identical with the regular
Memory Link and the Memory Link used with the DeviceNet Interface Unit. Com-
munications between the PT and host are different between the regular Memory
Link and the Memory Link used with the DeviceNet Interface Unit, but data ex-
change between the PT (parts, memory tables, etc.) and PT memory are the
same.
This manual explains only the functions particular to the DeviceNet Interface
Unit and their usage. Refer to the appropriate manual listed below for details on
procedures such as operating the PT and creating screens.

Note The manuals listed above cover the “-V2” versions of the NT31/NT31C and
NT631/NT631C, but the PT will operate as a “-V1” version when the DeviceNet
Interface Unit is connected so some functions listed in the manuals will not be
usable. Refer to Appendix B for details on differences between functions in the
“-V1” versions (system version 2.1) and the “-V2” versions.
