NT3S to a CJ

[ParaffinPower 13]

Hi This must be something straightforward, but I can't get an NT3S and a CJ to talk. Anyone confirm the hardware required, and which protocol to go for? Cheers Pp

Set protocol in CX programer to HostLink (Standard), Unit number 1 (PLC Settings/HostLink port). In NT-XS go to network configuration and set Com1 - Omron HostLink, Address - 01(for PLC-NT3S communication) Com2 - IBM Communication protocol (for programming). What cable you are using?

Hi beljic I've tried it with an NT2S-CN223-V2 to the peripheral port, and a XW2Z-200T to the host link port. No luck. Will the NT3S-126 work? And... Thanks for your help

Try to change Com1 Node to 1. I made my own cable (look at NTXS manual), connected PLC RS232 port and NT3S port 1 and it work.

Hi, Make sure that you have the unit numbers correct. Use cable NT2S-CN223-V2 and do not forget to set dipswitch 4 on the CPU. I have your setup on my desk at the moment. Regards, MPM

Thanks for that. Had a look the next day a it worked a treat. Guess it was that Dip switch 4!!!
