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.

Model

Reference

NS-series PTs without the -V1 or -V2 suffix do not support Host Link communications. One of the above NS-V1/V2 models must be used.

 NS-V1/V2 System Program

To connect to the host by means of Host Link communications, system program version 6 or later must be installed in the NS-V1/V2 PT.

 Communications Setup

The following table shows the communications settings required at the NS-V1/V2 PT and the host to connect to the host by means of Host Link communications.

Setup

location

NS-V1/V2 PT Baud rate: 9,600 or 19,200 bps (See note 1.) Host Start bits: 1 bit

Data: 7 bits Stop bits: 2 bits Parity: Even Host Link unit number: 0 Baud rate: 9,600 or 19,200 bps (See note 1.)

Note 1: The baud rate settings must be the same for both the NS-V1/V2 PT and the host.

2: Use the 1:N protocol setting.

1-2-2 Applicable PLCs

The OMRON PLCs listed below can be connected as hosts using Host Link communications. The connection can be made either directly to the built-in serial port on the CPU Unit or to a Host Link Unit mounted to the PLC.

 C Series

C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE(-Z), CQM1, CQM1H, CPM2A/CPM2C, CPM1/CPM1A, C500, C1000H, C2000H

1-3 Connecting to the Host

The types of host that can be connected to a PT by using the serial ports on the NS-series PT and connecting to an RS-232C port at the host are described here.

1-3-1 Connecting to an RS-232C Port at the Host

 Compatible Host Units

Some models and series of OMRON PLCs have the host link function built in.

In the CS-series or CQM1H PLCs, the host link method can be used by installing a Serial Communications Board. In addition, some C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E have an integral CPU Unit that can be connected in the host link method by installing a Communications Board.

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

The PLC Units/Boards that can be connected to an NS-series PT through a Host Link connection using RS-232C ports on both the PLC Unit/Board and PT are listed in the following table.

peripheral port to the PT with a CS1W-CN118 Connecting Cable.

3: CPU Units of CVM1/CV-series PLCs without the suffix –EV@ cannot be connected.

 Settings at the Host

When using the host link method, the settings shown below must be made at the host (depending on the unit, some of these settings may not be necessary, or settings not shown here may be necessary).

Item Switch Setting

I/O port RS-232C

Communications speed Set the same baud rate as set at the NS-series PT (See note 1.)

Transfer code ASCII, 7 data bits, 2 stop bits

Parity Even

1-to-1/1-to-N 1-to-N (See note 2.)

Command level Level 1, 2, 3

Unit # 00

Note 1: Set the Host Link communications speed (baud rate) to 9600 bps or 19200 bps with

the Communications Setting menu item in the CX-Designer and the System Menu for the NS-series PT. For details, refer to 1-4 Settings for Host Link.

2: The 1-to-N setting enables using a BCC (Block Check Character). It is not actually

possible to connect more than one NS-series PT in a single Host Link.
