Description
Gateway Operation
The data that is exchanged between M-II and M-III is stored in the flash
memory inside the GW3100 and then transmitted cyclically.
You can change the operating mode depending on the M-II slaves that are
connected and the application method.
Self Configuration
The slave devices that are connected to the M-II port are automatically
detected and communications settings and station I/O data mapping are
performed.
M-II-M-III Port Synchronization
The M-II timing is synchronized to M-III as long as the M-II transmission
cycle or M-III transmission cycle is set to an integral multiple of the other.
Configuration
You can use the Configuration Tool on a PC to map slave devices and set
the operating modes. The GW3100 is connected to the PC with a USB
cable.
