Hi all
Can I connect three CJ1's on Hostlink to a PC running Supervisor?
i.e. 1 serial port, converted to RS-422 and three PLC's defined.

Thanks

Yes, I have 2 PLC on CX-S.

Although I have not tried it myself, it should be just fine.
Obviously each PLC needs a unique Host Link number.
Also, whatever PLCs you have need to have their 'Default Settings' switch off for the serial port.
ie CQM1 DIP Switch 5 = Host Link, 9600, 7, E, 2, Unit 00.
As a practice, I typically start at Host Link unit # 01 for mulidrop PLCs.
That way if I ever add another, and want to set it up on RS422, it can come into the RS422 as unit 00.
