Sharing of the network identifier
All Z-LINK1 devices are provided with the same network identifier (0xD0D0 = 53456), then the
operation of binding is already carried out (default: all Z-LINK1 devices are able to
communicate with each other).To create independent networks in the same covered area, it is
possible to separate networks logically, by modifying the network identifier of the affected
devices (using the software Easy Setup).
NOTE:
at first start, radio communication between Z-LINK1 devices may take several
minutes to properly establishment because the Z-LINK1 devices must initialize
internally.
Z-LINK1 configuration
To install and configure each Z-LINK1 that belongs to a network,
use the software Easy
setup
.
Each Z-LINK1 can be configured as:
- BRIDGE: the Z-LINK1 has not the CPU enabled. To complete the configuration, set if the Z-
LINK1 is connected to the Modbus master (PLC, PC, etc...) and Modbus slaves (local bus), or
if the Z-LINK1 is only connected to Modbus slaves (local bus).
- REMOTE I/O: the Z-LINK1 has the CPU enabled.
THE CPU COMMUNICATION
PARAMETERS (MODBUS MASTER THAT QUERIES MODBUS SLAVES) ARE THE
SAME OF INTERNAL RADIO MODULE.
To complete the configuration, set if the Z-LINK1 is
the Modbus master. To complete the configuration of Z-LINK1, follow the procedure described
by the software Easy setup.
Missing of a slave device in a network of Z-LINK1
Assume a system consisting of: a network of Z-LINK1 devices with some Modbus slave
devices connected directly via bus and a PC as Modbus master (with a Z-LINK1 connected
via bus). If there is the absence of a Modbus slave device (for example, one Z-4AI connected
directly to a Z-LINK1 via local bus) during interrogation by the Modbus master, it is possible to
observe a timeout message on all slave devices enquired (Z-8TC).
(*) Each variation has to be performed using the software Easy Setup.
