 1-1 Checking Operation before Connection
1 This section describes how to check the items required for connecting VT5/VT3/Soft-VT/DT and PLC via serial
interface or Ethernet.
For the connection of other interfaces (Multi-Link or VT2 Multi-Link), see each chapter.
"Chapter 19 MULTI-LINK"
CONNECTING TO THE KV & KZ SERIES

"Chapter 20 VT2 MULTI-LINK"

(1) Make sure that the VT5, VT3, Soft-VT and DT can be connected to the PLC, link unit or Ethernet unit.
(2) Check whether or not CPU, link unit or Ethernet settings are required.
(3) Confirm the name of the model to set as the target PLC.
Please ensure to check the above 3 points before connecting to PLC.

Point • For KV-8000/8000A/7500/7300, a bus connection unit is required when using a KV-5000/
3000 series expansion unit to connect to the VT5/VT3 Series.
• The VT5 Series is not supported.
• Not supported by VT2 series and VT1 series (including the VT-7SR).
• Not supported by DT-80/80A and DT-100.
• Cannot connect to VT3-W4T/W4M(T)/W4G(T) (RS-232C).
• Max. speed of communication is 115200bit/s when connecting VT3-W4TA/W4M(T)A/
W4G(T)A (RS-422A/485). Be sure that the communication speed of other connecting
devices complies with VT3-W4TA/W4M(T)A/W4G(T)A.
• For one MegaLink, only one DT-100A can be connected.
• DT-100A, when used as the terminator of DT-500, can also use the MegaLink connection.
• VT3 handy Series and VT3-V7R can only be connected to both ends of the wiring.
• For connection with VT3 handy Series using VT-T1, never remove VT-T1 and OP-87194/
87195/87196 in power on status.

• DT-80/80A and DT-100 are not supported.
• VT3-W4T/W4M(T)/W4G(T) (RS-232C type) cannot be connected.
• The maximum connection speed is 115,200 bit/s when the VT3-W4TA/W4M(T)A/W4G(T)A
(RS-422/485 type) is connected. Align the communication speed of other connected
devices with the VT3-W4TA/W4M(T)A/W4G(T)A.
• The VT3 handy Series/V7R can only be connected on both ends of the wiring.
• When VT-T1 is used to connect the VT3 handy Series, do not remove or connect VT-T1 and
OP-87194/87195/87196 when the power is on.
• Only one DT-100A unit can be connected to one MegaLink connection.
• When DT-100A is used as the terminator of DT-500, it can use the MegaLink connection.

*1 The VT5 Series and VT3-E3 whose serial numbers end in an "A", support the MDI/MDI-X auto switching function.
To connect any other device directly to a PLC, use an STP/UTP cross cable.
*2 The KV-XD02 can only be connected to the KV-8000.

Point • When building an Ethernet connection using 10 Base-T, use a Category 3 or higher STP/UTP cable.
• When building an Ethernet connection using 100 Base-TX, use a Category 5 or higher STP/UTP cable.
• When building an Ethernet connection using 1000 Base-T, use a Category 5e or higher STP/UTP
cable. If it is considered that there is a noise influence in the installed environment, select an STP
cable with the double shield.

Ethernet Connection Methods 1

CONNECTING TO THE KV & KZ SERIES

This section describes how to connect the VT5/VT3 Series and Soft-VT to a PLC via Ethernet.

 Checks to perform before making setting

For the Ethernet connection, the IP address and port No. of the connected units should be determined in advance.
The following table shows the setting items corresponding to the connection type. Check these settings with your
system administrator.

Connection mode Setting Item

• IP address assigned to VT5/VT3/Soft-VT (PC)
Direct connection • IP address to be assigned to PLC
• Port No. for communication
• IP address assigned to VT5/VT3/Soft-VT (PC)
• IP address to be assigned to PLC
Other connection • Port No. for communication
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway

Point Make sure that the "IP address assigned to VT5/VT3/Soft-VT (PC)" differs from "the IP
address assigned to the PLC".

 Required Settings for Ethernet Connections

The following settings must be made when connecting the VT5/VT3 Series and Soft-VT to a PLC via Ethernet.

"5-3 VT Machine Setup", VT5 Series Hardware Manual
• These settings are not required for Soft-VT since it uses the Ethernet settings of the PC it
runs on.
• If the VT model setting is VT5-WX15/WX12, it is equipped with two LAN ports, and an IP address
can be set for each port. Set the IP address of the LAN port that is connected with PLC.

Reference In the VT3 Series, IP addresses to be assigned to the VT3 were set only in the system mode screen.
In the VT5 Series, they are set in the "VT setting" in VT STUDIO.

Available Variable
When the CPU unit of the PLC to be connected is KV-8000/8000A, and it is connected with VT5 Series/Soft-VT by
Ethernet, reading and writing can be done using a variable. Data types of available variables are as follows.
Type name Description Support
BOOL Bit 
UINT 1 word unsigned integer *
INT 1 word signed integer *
UDINT 2 words unsigned integer *
DINT 2 words signed integer *
REAL Single-precision float point type 
LREAL Double-precision float point type 
STRING String 
TIMER Timer 
COUNTER Counter 
ARRAY Array 
STRUCTURE Structure 
FUNCTION BLOCK Function block 

* When handled as a bit data, set it as “variable name + period (.) + bit position”.

Point • Because the local variable cannot be referred from VT5 Series, register a variable to be
referred from VT5 Series as a global variable.
• When an array is specified, specify a suffix by a constant.
• When a structure is specified, specify it up to the end member.
• No variable set to a constant can be specified.
• The string length that can be specified by a variable is 255 characters at maximum. Set the
variable which is defined by an array suffix "[]" and "period (.)" which locates between a
structure type variable name and member name, and an integer (UINT, INT, UDINT, and
DINT), using 255 characters or less, including "." which locates between a variable name
and bit position when the variable is handled as a bit data.
• For details on variables, see "VT5 Series Reference Manual".
• Variables can be used only when the version is VT STUDIO Ver. 8.0 or later, and the
supported model is VT5 Series/Soft-VT, and the VT main unit system program version is
Ver. 4.00 or later.
• Variables can be used only when performing the Ethernet connection to KV-8000/8000A
with the CPU function version of 2.0 or later.

CONNECTING TO THE KV & KZ SERIES

Connect the cable to each modular connector.

2 When using PORT2, set the PORT selector switch to "1+2". In other cases, set to "1ONLY".

Point Set the baud rate at "Communication Setting" in the VT3 unit system mode. The VT3 does not
operate in the following states when MT-T2 is used.
• When the time chart monitor is being used by the ladder support software
• While the program is being transferred between the KZ and ladder support software
“5-4 PLC Communication Conditions” in the VT3 Series Hardware Manual

3 Set the baud rate by the DIP switch on the top panel of the MT-T3.
The baud rates of PORTA [PLC] and PORT1 [MT] are set in common. The baudrate of PORT2 [TOOL] can be set individually.

Troubleshooting

If the system does not function properly with the VT3/DT connected to the KZ seriesand MT-T2/T3, and power is
supplied, an error message is displayed on the VT3'sscreen. In the case of the DT, this can be confirmed by "Unit
Monitor" on DT BUILDERand "Error State" on the Web server.
For details on how to remedy error messages, refer to "Troubleshooting".
