For details on handling shield wires, refer to 5-2-8 Handling the Shield on RS-
422A/485 Cables on page 128.
5-2-4 1:N Connection among RS-422A Ports
The connection method in which the RS-422A ports of multiple NT31/NT31Cs
and one host are connected in a 1:N connection is described here.
Reference: • Communications using the RS-422A standard NT link (1:N) method is
possible only when a Serial Communications Board (CS Series only) or
Serial Communications Unit is installed in a CS/CJ-series PLC, a Com-
munications Board is installed in a C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E, or a CQM1H-
SCB41 Serial Communications Board is installed in a CQM1H.
