OPERATION MANUAL

Introduction

This manual describes the configuration and settings required for communicating with the host devices used by NS-series Programmable Terminals for Host Link communications.

First familiarize yourself with the contents of the manuals related to NS-series

Programmable Terminals (the NS-series Setup Manual, NS-series Programming Manual, and the CX-Designer online help), and then use this manual for Host Link communications.

1-1 Overview

This section provides an overview of connecting an NS-V1/V2 PT to an OMRON Programmable Controller that supports Host Link communications.

The NS-V1/V2 PT is connected 1:1 to the CPU Unit or a Host Link Unit of an OMRON PLC. Host Link communications are used to read and display or write the words and settings in the host PLC.

NS-V1/V2 PT serial ports A and B can both be connected to a host by means of the Host Link protocol.

Reference

When an NS-V1/V2 PT and a PLC are connected by Host Link, it is not possible to change to RUN Mode. If the PLC is set for RUN Mode, it is automatically switched to Monitor Mode. For example, if a compatible Programming Console is connected to the PLC and the PLC operating mode is switched to RUN mode, the password display for the Monitor Mode will be displayed at the Programming Console.

1-2 Connection Configuration

This section describes the system configuration required for connecting to the host by Host Link communications.

1-2-1 NS-V1/V2 Configuration Required for Connection

 NS-V1/V2 Models

One of the following NS-V1/V2 PTs is required to connect with the host by Host Link communications.

Connecting to a CVM1/CV Series Host Link Unit

CVM1/CV-series Rack-mounted type: CV500-LK201

A CVM1/CV series host link unit (CV500-LK201) has two connectors (communications ports 1 and 2). Either of these ports can be used for connection to an NS-series PT by the RS-232C method. However, since the connectors at these ports are of different types, a cable that matches the connector must be prepared.

• Communications port 1 Communications port 1 is a 25-pin connector for RS-232C use only.

• Communications port 2 Communications port 2 is a 9-pin connector which allows selection of the RS-232C or RS-422A method. When this port is used with the RS-232C method, the I/O port selector switch on the front of the unit must be set to RS-232C (the upper position).

CPU Bus Unit Settings

When connecting to a CVM1/CV series host link unit, set the following communications conditions for the CPU Bus Unit settings.

Item Setting at Host

Connecting to a CPM2C

The CPM2C PLCs do not have the same kind of port connectors found on CS-series PLCs. The CPM2C’s communications port handles both RS-232C and peripheral port connections which are divided internally. Therefore, when using the CPM2C, it is necessary to select RS-232C or peripheral port connections, according to the kind of cable and port (on the cable) used, as shown in the following table. Refer to the CPM2C Operation Manual for more details.

 Compatible Host Units

Some models and series of OMRON PLCs have the RS-422A type host link function built in. With the CS-series and CQM1H, the host link method can be used by installing a serial Communications Board. In addition, some C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E devices have an integral CPU Unit that can be connected in the host link method by installing a Communications Board.

With the CPM2A and CPM2C, an RS-422A type of 1:1 NT Link can be created through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-422A Adapter.

Check the model and series of the PLC and the type of the installed Board or Unit before making a connection.

The PLC Units that provide an RS-422A Host Link interface and that can be connected to an NS-series PT port to which an RS-232C/RS422A Link Adaptor (NS-AL002) is connected are listed in the following table.

1-4 Settings for Host Link

This section describes the procedure for making the NS-V1 PT settings for connecting to the host by means of Host Link communications.

Use either serial port A or B. The flow of operations for connecting to the host is as follows:

(1) Design the screen data.

(2) Transfer the screen data.

(3) Set the communications method for serial port A or B

(4) Connect to the host.

1-4-1 Designing the Screen Data

Use the CX-Designer to create the screen data. First, select Communication Setting from the PT Menu to display the Communication Setting Dialog Box.

Select Serial Port A or Serial Port B. Then set the serial port to PLC and the protocol to Host Link.

1-4-2 Transferring Screen Data

Use the transfer program to transfer the screen data to the NS-V1/V2 PT.

For details on transferring screen data, refer to Transferring Data to the PT in the CX-Designer online help.

1-4-3 Setting the Communications Method for Serial Port A or B

This procedure is not required if the method has already been set in 1-4-1 Designing the Screen Data above. At the NS-V1/V2 PT, set Host Link as the communications method for

the serial port that is to be used to connect to the host by means of Host Link communications. Also set the baud rate to same value as the host.

These settings are made from the NS-V1/V2 PT’s System Menu.

(1) Press the Comm. Tab in the System Menu to display the Communications Setup Screen.

(For the NS5 PT, press the Comm. Button in the System Menu to display the screen, and then press the ← and → Screen Switching Buttons to display the screen for page (2/3).

(2) Press the drop-down menu button and set Host Link as the communications method for

serial port A or B.

(3) Press the Detail Button to display the Host Link settings, and select Comm. Speed.

(4) Press the Write Button and press the Yes Button on the following dialog boxes to restart

the NS-V1/V2.

1-4-4 Connecting to the Host

Connect in the same way as for a 1:1 NT Link, and use the same cables that are used for a 1:1 NT Link connection.

If cables must be prepared, refer to the relevant manuals for the PLC or Host Link Unit, and to the NS Series Setup Manual (Cat. No. V083).
