FUNCTIONS
5.3.3 Link operation function
(1) The link operation function
The link operation function enables the master connected to CH1 (RS-232) to
communicate with multiple slaves connected to QJ71MB91's CH2 (RS-422/485).
If the link operation function is used, a RS-232 interface (1-to-1 communication)
MODBUS master device can communicate with several MODBUS slave devices.
(2) Setting the link operation function
The link operation function can be set with the intelligent function module switch
(
(3) Message flow during link operation
A request message received on CH1 is sent to a slave from CH2.
A response message received from CH2 is sent to the master from CH2.
If a request message addressed to the QJ71MB91 is received, the QJ71MB91 will act
as a slave. (The link operation is not performed.)
