4. CONFIGURATION
bus control function allocated from a larger address
number (247) side respectively. Place the AXF in the
range of the BASIC device. When the AXF is used as
Link Master, place the AXF in the range of the LM
device. Set the range of addresses to be used to the LM
device. Set the following parameters.

Parameters for Setting Address Range

V (FUN) First-Unpolled-Node
Indicates the address next
to the address range used
for the host or other LM
device.

Parameters
Description
The devices within the address range written as
“Unused” in Figure 4.1 cannot be used on a Fieldbus.
For other address ranges, the range is periodically
checked to identify when a new device is mounted.
Care must be taken to keep the unused device range as
narrow as possible so as to lessen the load on the
Fieldbus.

To ensure stable operation of Fieldbus, determine the
operation parameters and set them to the LM devices.
While the parameters in Table 4.2 are to be set, the
worst-case value of all the devices to be connected to
the same Fieldbus must be used. Refer to the specifica-
tion of each device for details. Table 4.2 lists AXF
specification values.

Set to LM Devices
Indicates the time
necessary for immediate
reply of the device. Unit of
time is in octets (256

s).
Set maximum specification
for all devices. For AXF,
set a value of 4 or greater.

maximum specification for
all devices. For AXF, set a

V (MRD) Maximum-Reply-Delay The worst case time
elapsed until a reply is
recorded. The unit is Slot-

V (MRD)
V (ST) is the
maximum value of the
specification for all
devices. For AXF, the
setting must be a value of
12 or greater.
4.3 Definition of Combining
Function Blocks
The input/output parameters for function blocks are
combined. As required, they can be combined with the
input of the control block. The setting is written to the
AXF link object. See “Block setting” in Section 4.6 for
the details. It is also possible to read values from the
host at proper intervals instead of connecting the AXF
block output to other blocks.
The combined blocks need to be executed synchro-
nously with other blocks on the communications
schedule. In this case, change the AXF schedule
according to the following table. The values in the
table are factory-settings.
