Note
•
The data link mode (manual/automatic) and data link operation are determined by
the data link setup at the startup node. With manual setting the links, it is necessary
to set, for the startup node, the data link table and the data link mode (manual
setting) in the DM parameter area. If these are not set correctly, the data links will not
start.
•
Check the following points before starting the data links.
With manual setting, the appropriate data link table must be set for each node
executing the data links. Data link tables must be deleted for nodes that are not
participating in the data links. Also, even when the correct data link tables are set,
make sure that there will be no effect on the equipment before starting or stopping
the data links.
Stopping Data Links
1 Click the Stop Option in the Operation Field in the Datalink Status Dialog Box.
2 Click the Set Button.
The data links will be stopped.
