CHAPTER 6 COMMUNICATION FUNCTION
6-18
①
when ‘LINK Enable’ is ON’
②
when the parameter registration list setting is all set normally
③
when all data related to the registration list is sending/receiving well according to the
setting period
④
when all opposite stations set in the parameter are RUN and having no error at the
same time.

Table 6.4 High speed link parameter setting at each station (example)
Figure 6.25 and Table 6.4 shows the example of the high speed link system
configuration to describe the condition that RUN-LINK is ‘ON’. In case that 5
communication modules are linked to the network as like Figure 6.25 and are high
speed linked by the parameter as shown on Table 6.4, the condition to be RUN-LINK
‘ON’ in Station 1 is as follows :
①
when Link-Enable is ON in the self station (station 1),
②
when self station (station 1) is RUN mode,
③
when self station (station 1) is not in error,
④
when the sending parameter data set in the self station (station 1) is sending
normally,
⑤
when the data receiving from Station 2&3 is receiving normally,
⑥
when the action mode of the opposite station (Station 2, Station 3) sending the data
to the self station (Station 1) is RUN and having no error and communicating
normally,
⑦
when the action mode of another opposite station (station 4 & 5) set in the parameter
of the opposite station (station 2&3) of the self station (station 1) is RUN and not in
error and communicating normally.
If 7 items on the above are all satisfied, RUN-LINK of station 1 shall be ‘ON’. If using the
RUN-LINK contact with the program in the system that PLC of several stations is
interlocking through high speed link, it is available to carry out the sending/receiving
data monitoring and reliable communication. But as once RUN-LINK contact is ‘ON’, it is
maintained ‘ON’ till LINK-Enable is ‘OFF’, it is required to use the Link-Trouble
information contact of the following items when monitoring the abnormal state such as
communication error etc.
