values for the network).
3. Select
the
Write
pushbutton to download the network parameters to the SYSMAC LINK
network controller. Note that this is only possible when the connected node is the
polling (server) node – otherwise the
Write
pushbutton is disabled. The status display
indicates whether the write operation was successful.
4. Select
the
Close
pushbutton to remove the dialogue.
Controller Link Settings
The
Controller Link
menu only appears when the end connection is the Controller Link network. It allows
settings specific to a Controller Link network to be made.
Network Status
The Controller Link Network Status dialogue shows the nodes present on the network. It also indicates the
controlling server node. Use the following procedure to setup Controller Link Network Status settings.

Select the
Network Status
option from the
Controller Link

Network Settings
The Network Setup dialogue allows parameter settings for a Controller Link network to be defined; this includes
the maximum number of nodes on a network, the maximum number of polling units per communications cycle,
and the maximum number of frames per communications cycle.
On entry, this dialogue displays the last parameters entered for a selected network. Use the following
procedure to setup Controller Link Network Setup settings.

Routing Tables
Routing tables allow networked PLCs to be configured so that they can communicate with each other via
gateways; across remote networks. These tables contain the network and unit number information required. It
is only necessary to set up routing tables if the end connection PLC is not a direct connection, i.e. using
another PLC as a gateway connection. The routing table is held within the PLC(s) which acts as the gateway
device. Different types of PLC and networks have different capabilities for routing.
For details about using routing tables refer to
Chapter 11 – Routing Table Editor
.
Data Link
Data Link tables allow a PLC to be configured so that it can participate in one or more automatic data sharing
schemes, over SYSMAC LINK, SYSMAC NET and Controller Link networks, without the need for special
programming. Words of IO and DM can be set aside for use as data link words, which are allocated to various
nodes in the network. Limits on the amount of data and number of nodes varies with the type of network and
the type of PLC. The allocation of words to nodes is defined by two or more Data Link tables.
