Communication Methods That Can Be Used with the Host
The following communication methods can be used with the hosts that can be
connected to the NT21.
•
RS-232C
•
RS-422A
•
RS-485
The communications types that are actually supported vary with the host. For
details, refer to Section 4 Connecting to the Host from the RS-232C Port and
Section 5 Connecting to the Host from the RS-422A/485 Port.
Converting Communication Type with the RS-232C/RS-422A Link Adapter
An OMRON NT-AL001-E or NS-AL002-E Link Adapter can be used convert
from RS-232C communications to either RS-422A or RS-485.

There are two models of Link Adapters available with different features:
•
NT-AL001 Link Adapter
The RS-232C port is insulated from the RS-422A/485 terminals. An RS-232C
cable (2 m max.) can be connected to either serial port A or B on the NT21.
•
NS-AL002 Link Adapter
The RS-232C port is not insulated from the RS-422A/485 terminals. The NS-
AL002 Link Adapter can be connected directly to serial port B on the NT21.
(The NS-AL002 cannot be connected directly to serial port A on the NT21.)
