Characteristics
The AJ71PB96F/A1SJ71PB96F general characteristics are explained below.
(1) Operates as a client or server in the PROFUBUS-FMS network.
(a) When operating as a client:
•
The partner station variable can be read/written using the I/O signal X/Y and buffer
memory.
•
The partner station status and ID information can be read using the I/O signal X/Y and
the buffer memory.
•
The non-confirmation type service can be transmitted using the I/O signal X/Y and the
buffer memory.
(b) When operating as a server:
•
The PC CPU device can be read/written to from the client. (without sequence program)
•
The sequence program, parameters, comments, device memory, and buffer memory can
be uploaded/downloaded from the client. (without sequence program)
•
The sequence program can be run, stopped, or paused from the client. (without
sequence program)
•
The non-confirmation type service can be received using the I/O signal X/Y and the
buffer memory.
The service that can actually be used depends on the connection type and partner station
installed service, etc. For details refer to Item 4-4.
(2) Operates as a master station in the PROFIBUS-FMS network.
In addition, the same operation as that of a slave station can be done using slave
emulation.
(3) When used in combination with MELSECNET (II), MELSECNET/B or MELSECNET/10 the
client can access from the MELSECNET (II), MELSECNET/B or MELSECNET/10 station. For
details refer to Item 2.3.2
(4) The client can read/set the OD (Object Dictionary), CRL (Connection Relationship List), and
bus parameter via the PROFIBUS-FMS network.
(5) The utility software package SW0IX-PROFPE is used when the OD, CRL, and bus
parameters are set in the AJ71PB96F/A1SJ71PB96F.
