Overview
n : 1 Connection (Multi-link2)
Overview
•
One PLC is connected to a maximum of four
*
S8/V8 units. The S8 series cannot be connected with the V7 and V6 series
as multi-link2.
* The terminating resistance of COM1 on S806M10D is always set to ON. If you use S806M10D in multi-link2
connection, S806M10D is available only in the termination of multi-link2 (master and slave). So, a maximum of two
S806M10D units is available.
•
Multi-link2 enables you to establish an original network consisting of a master S8 of local port No. 1 and slave S8 units of
local port Nos. 2, 3, and 4. The master S8 communicates with the PLC directly, and the slave S8 units communicate with
the PLC through the master.
•
You can make settings for multi-link2 in the [Communication Setting] tab window for the logical port PLC1.
•
Multi-link2 enables PLC1 memory data to be shared among the S8 units.
•
Communication speed between the master station and the PLC depend on the setting made on the PLC. The maximum
communication speed between S8 units is 115 kbps, which is higher than the one available with multi-link connection
described in “n : 1 Connection (Multi-link)”.
•
For PLCs that support multi-link2 connection, refer to the list provided at the end of this manual or the chapters on
individual manufacturers.
The COM2 port (RS-232C) must be used for PLC connection (1:1 connection). The COM1 port (RS-485, 2-wire system)
must be used for connection between S8 units.
