5
Functions of the NT631/NT631C Section 1-2
Two Ports Featured as
Standard: Port A for Common Use by Support Tool/Host and Port B for Exclusive
Use by the Host
• Communications with the host is possible via another port while con-
nected to the Support Tool.
• Reading bar code data from a bar code reader is possible via another port
while communicating with the host.
Rapid System Program &
Screen Data Changes
Possible Using a Memory
Unit. • Installing a Memory Unit (type NT-MF261) on the rear of the NT631/
NT631C makes it easy to write screen data into the NT631/NT631C on
site. This enables a rapid response to setup changes.
• NT631/NT631C can store a system program into a Memory Unit. This
enables the system to handle more flexible setups.
Screen Data Check
Function Screen data can be checked simply by operations at the NT631/NT631C sys-
tem menu, without connecting up to the Support Tool.
Large Increase in
Maximum Number of
Registered Elements The number of elements that can be registered on one screen has been con-
siderably increased, making it possible to create more expressive screens.
For details, refer to Display Restrictions in Appendix A Specifications of the
NT31/NT31C/NT631/NT631C Programmable Terminal Reference Manual.
Binary Data can be Read
to/Written from the Host It is now possible to write binary data stored in words at the host directly to the
NT631/NT631C. This makes data conversion by a program at the host unnec-
essary, reducing the load on the host.
Character Display Using
High Definition Fonts Any quadrupled characters are displayed with a 32 dot high-definition font.
Simple Version Upgrades By using the system installer supplied with the Support Tool (Type NT-
ZJCAT1-EV4), the system program at the NT631/NT631C can be changed
easily from a personal computer.
Complies with
International Standards The NT631/NT631C meets UL/CSA standards and EC directives.
Compatible with Other
Vendors’ Devices Compatible with Sequencers in the following series: Mitsubishi A-series (Cal-
culator Link) and FX-series (Programming Console), Allen-Bradley SLC 500
Series, GE Fanuc 90-20 and 90-30 Series, and Siemens S7-300 and S7-400
Series. Specialized system programs can be installed that allow the NT631/
NT631C to be controlled from other companies’ Sequencers.
Multiple Windows Up to 3 windows can be displayed simultaneously in the normal screen. A 9-
word window control area has been allocated to the host; the contents of
these 9 words can be changed from the Host to open, close, and move win-
dows.
High-speed 1:N NT Link The V2 versions are compatible with the high-speed 1:N NT Link as well as
the earlier standard 1:N NT Link.
Additional Mathematical
Functions Operands (values referenced by formula) can be registered to allow the PT to
perform calculations automatically and write the results of those calculations
to numeral memory tables or words in the host.
