CHAPTER 10
Data Links
What Are Data Links?
Overview
Data links automatically exchange data in preset areas between nodes (PLCs and/or computers) on a network.
Settings can be made either manually or automatically.
CX-Net operations can be used for all operations from setting up the PLC network to controlling data exchange.
Manual Settings
Manual settings enable more flexible allocations, including the send size for each node, the sequence of nodes for
sending and receiving, and the setting of nodes for sending only or receiving only. Use manual settings to create
flexible data links to meet the requirements of the individual system (e.g., efficient utilization of memory,
restrictions on allocated addresses, etc.).
Data link tables (i.e., tables that define data link area allocations) are generated by CX-Net or network support
software (such as Controller Link Support Software), and sent to all nodes for use.
