8.2 Communication system between Cnet I/F modules using optical modem
Optical modem is mainly used in communication with mobile body which is hard to communicate with via communication
cable. For communication with GLOFA PLC on mobile body in lineal motion like parking tower or GLOFA PLC which is
fixed, RS-232C/RS-422 channel of the module shall be connected with optical modem. [Figure 8.4] shows
communication system between GLOFA PLCs and with monitoring device via optical modem.
[Figure 8.4] Optical modem communication system
1~3 stations in [Figure 8.4] as of the module mounted on the fixed PLCs installed respectively at 1~3 floors in the parking
tower communicate with monitoring device via RS-422 channel, and RS-232C channel communicates with station 4 on
mobile body via optical modem. Module on mobile body moves vertically and horizontally as mounted on flatcar for car
lift. Communication is performed with station 1 at 1
st
fl., station 2 at 2
nd
fl. and station 3 at 3
rd
fl. via optical modem. And
only when horizontal position is in the specified allowance from other station’s optical modem, communication is
available in accordance with the communication characteristics of optical modem. Thus, communication is not allowed
during vertical movement, while allowed during horizontal movement in the horizontal allowance as not changed from the
fixed optical modem. Along with this method, information about mobile body’s location and vehicles, and commands for
loading/unloading vehicles can be transferred from monitoring device to mobile bodies. Monitoring device communicates
in station 1 with station 3 via RS-422 communication, with dedicated communication master functions available.
