2-1-1 Communications Types and Connection Methods
• Communications Ports and Methods
The PT has two serial ports. The NS12-TS01(B), NS10-TV01(B), and NS7-SV01(B) each
have one Ethernet interface. A Controller Link Interface Unit can also be mounted to enable
Controller Link communications. These communications ports and interfaces can be used for
the communications methods shown in the following table.
Communications ports Supported communications methods
Serial port A
1:1 NT Link
1:N NT Links (See note.)
For connecting the NS-Designer and for Bar Code Reader input.
Serial port B
1:1 NT Link
1:N NT Links (See note.)
For connecting the NS-Designer and for Bar Code Reader input.
Ethernet interface
FINS communications
For connecting the NS-Designer.

FINS communications
Data links
Note: NT Links can be set for either normal or high-speed communications.
The following table shows the possible combinations of communications methods when serial
ports A and B are connected to the host at the same time.
Using serial ports A and B at the same time Supported/not supported.
1:1 NT Link + 1:1 NT Link Supported.
1:1 NT Link + 1:N NT Links Supported.
1:N NT Links + 1:N NT Links Not supported.
• Converting Communications Type Using RS-232C/RS-422A Converter
OMRON’s NS-AL002 RS-232C/RS-422A Converter can be used to convert the communica-
tions type between RS-232C and RS-422A.
