Changes from Previous Products Section 4-5
Systems created with Host Link Units and CPU Units in other PLC product
series. These differences are described in this sections.
4-5-1 RS-232C Ports
Take the following differences into consideration when changing from an exist-
ing Host Link System to one using an RS-232C port on a CS/CJ-series CPU
Unit, Serial Communications Boards, or Serial Communications Unit (CS1H/
G-CPU@@ RS-232C port, CS1W-SCU21-V1 ports, CJ1W-SCU21-V1/
SCU41-V1 port 2, CS1W-SCB21-V1 ports, or CS1W-SCB41-V1 port 1).

The connector has been
changed from a 25-pin to a
9-pin connector.
The CS/CJ-series products
do not support the ST1, ST2,
and RT signals and wiring
them is not required.
The following changes are necessary for
systems that sync with ST1, ST2, and RT.
Synchronized transfers will no longer be possi-
ble.
Full-duplex transmissions will be possible with
the CS/CJ-series product, but the host com-
puter’s communications program, hardware, or
both will need to be altered.
The following changes are necessary for
systems that did not sync with ST1, ST2,
and RT.
It may be possible to use the host computer
programs without alteration as long as the
same communications settings (e.g., baud rate)
are used. It may be necessary, however, to
change programs to allow for different text
lengths in frames or different CS/CJ command
specifications. (See note.)
