Higher communication speed Ethernet equipped as standard Each module is equipped with an Ethernet communication function. When modules are connected or distributed, the use of a daisy chain connection method greatly reduces the required wiring. Each module is also equipped with an S-85 communication function. High-speed communications are possible to devices such as host systems, programmable logic controllers (PLs) and display devices. he system can be upgraded to the Yamatake Monitor and ontrol System.

18 hapter Overview ctions when a fault occurs Design Precautions When a communication box fails, the FIL LED is lit or blinks. Hard Failure When a hardware failure occurs it is treated as a hard failure and the FIL LED is lit. Since the communication box breaks down when a hard failure occurs, the box should immediately be replaced with a notmal communication box. Soft Failure Errors in the base EEPOM or the main Flash OM parameters, and errors with the Ethernet port, are treated as soft failure and the FIL LED blinks slowly. When parameter errors occur, use functioning parameters in the base EEPOM or main Flash OM and continue operations. When Ethernet port errors occur, the failed ports will not function. If this happens, the U LED blinks slowly or turns off. If a soft failure occurs, replace the box with a functioning communication box. he FIL LED blinks fast even in special circumstance (a wrong module inserted). However, this is not an error. When a wrong module is inserted, the U LED and MOD LED also blink fast. he model number information for the module and the base does not match. heck to see if the model number of the module is correct. If the model number of the module is correct, the model number of the base might be incorrect. eplace it with a base that has the correct model number. 8

19 hapter onfiguration of Ethernet ommunications his chapter describes the configuration of Ethernet communications for modules, including basic points, model number selection, and specific connection configurations.

20 hapter onfiguration of Ethernet ommunications - etwork ypes ing communications/non-ring communications here are basically two types of networks for these modules. hey are connected using daisy chain topology, and are either: ring communications, or non-ring communications depending on whether redundancy is supported. ing communications redundant network communication path for modules is referred to as ring communications. Having redundancy on a path avoids communication failures in communication paths that have failed as a result of an error or abnormality in a single node. ing communications are achieved through a configuration that allows networks connected using a daisy chain-type topology to connect in a single closed ring. ote reverse direction communication path that does not pass through the applicable node is used, and loopback communications are performed. Design Precautions on-ring communications Design Precautions his does not avoid all communication failures relating to a node failure or error status. Make sure that you understand the structure and use the system in a way that does not create problems for applications that you are using. he method of connecting the network for these modules without redundancy, using a daisy chain connection, is referred to as non-ring communications. Unlike ring communications (ring-type topology), the communication path has no redundancy. If the communication path fails as a result of a failure or error status in one node, communications are not established for any of the nodes from the problem node onwards in the chain connection. e careful to use the system in a way that does not create problems for applications that you are using. ote For a definition of topology, refer to ppendix - Explanation of General erminology.

For network configurations with the modules in separate locations, refer to etwork configuration when using communication boxes (next page).

For network configurations with nodes in separate locations, refer to etwork configuration when using communication boxes (Page -5). his connection method has the following design limitations: In a distributed configuration, there is one physical Ethernet cable so it is not a redundant control system because the cable can be removed or disconnected. communication box is required to connect to a P. Your selection should be based on considerations such as the network reliability required for the devices and applications that you are using, and the distance between the distributed modules when setting up a distributed configuration.

Multiple workgroups can be managed in batches. his is referred to as a project. maximum of nodes can be registered in one project. Within a workgroup, you can establish module linkages for transferring data between modules, and read/write parameters in batches. workgroup is made up of all of the nodes within the same chain. If the number of nodes for the entire system exceeds, divide the project into multiple projects. onfigure the network so that it consists of multiple projects that contain less than nodes each without cables between chains. If you want to configure the network using the cables between chains, to design the chain connections for non-ring communications, install a communication adapter on the extreme right of a chain, connect the SLP-X to the adapter, and configure each chain separately. 8

37 hapter onfiguration of Ethernet ommunications When setting up a configuration with multiple nodes in the same project, connect the SLP-X via Ethernet. In this case, the range for the nodes that can be configured varies depending on the connection location. For details, refer to ange of configurable nodes and connection examples (next page). If you are configuring multiple chains in one project, note that the displayed order of chains might be different to the physical order of the chains when the actual module configuration is being detected. his is because the order is displayed according to chains that contain nodes that responded quickly to the inquiry message for node discovery sent out by the SLP-X, when the actual model is comprised of multiple chains. From the SLP-X, use the wink function to check how the actual module configuration nodes displayed in the SLP-X, and the modules that are actually installed, are handled. 9
