If a Controller Link connection
is used, data links can be set
between PLCs and multiple
PLCs can be monitored/set
from the NS-series PT's screen.

2 Mbps (500 m max.)
1 Mbps (800 m max.)
500 kbps (1 km max.)
Max. number of nodes: 32 nodes
4 EtherNet/IP or Ethernet Connection
If an Ethernet-compatible NS-series PT is used, the PT can connect to a PLC with an Ethernet Unit and an Option Unit is not needed to connect at the PT.

5 Connections Over Network Levels
The NS-series PTs can connect to a variety of devices in the network, through as many as 3 network levels.
For example, if SAP (Smart Active Parts) are being used, an NS-series PT connected by Ethernet can be used to monitor the information in a PLC
connected through Controller Link as well as the information in the DeviceNet Slaves connected to that PLC.
