Section 1-3
2-3 System Configuration
This section gives the basic configuration of a system which uses an NT600S.
Refer to the manual for individual device for information on the equipment other
than the NT600S in the system.
The following four communication methods are supported for communications
between the NT600S and PC/Host: host link, NT link, RS-232C, and C200H di-
rect. For the setting procedure, refer to Section 4-6 Setting the Conditions of
Communications with the PC/Host by Using the Memory Switches (page 83). It
is impossible to connect a personal computer used to drive the support tool and
a PC/Host at the same time.
Typical option devices for the NT600S include the following.
Backlight (spare for LCD type) NT600S-CFL01 (white lamp)
Reflection-suppressing protective sheet NT600M-KBA04 (5 sheets/pack)
Battery C500-BAT08
Chemical-resistant cover NT600S-KBA01
(made of silicone rubber)
C200H I/F Unit NT-LB122
It is also possible to use the NTM support tool Ver.4.2. However, some restric-
tions apply when the NTM support tool is used. Refer to 4-8-5 Setting the Sup-
port Tool Mode (page 99) and Appendix G (page 277).
When using the Host Link/NT Link (1:1) Function
Use an RS-232C cable for connection to the PC/Host
OMRON’s PC
Controls NT600S as required while controlling machines and
monitoring the production line.
With host link: C series, CVM1/CV series PC
The NT600S can be connected to CPU units and
host link units.
However, there are some models to which
connection is not possible (see page 31).
With NT link: CPM1, CQM1, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE, CVM1/CV
series PCs
The NT600S can be connected to a CPU unit.
However, there are some CPU unit models to which
connection is not possible (see page 43).

Gives displays of production line
monitoring and instructions to the
operation site and notifies the switch
