(2)Program example for interlocking the remote master station and remote I/O station

Interlocks should be applied to the programs according to the link status of the remote master station (host station) and remote I/O station (other station). The following example shows an interlock in the communication program that uses the link status (SB47, SB49) of the remote master station and the link status (SW70 bit 0, SW74 bit 0, SW78 bit 0) of the remote I/O station (Station No. 1).

SB47: Baton pass status of host

SB49: Data link status of host

SW70: Baton pass status of other station

SW74: Data link status of other station

SW78: Parameter communication status of other station

SB20: Network module status

Sample programs (Refer to Appendix 9.2 and later)

Set the following values for the timer constant K.

Baton pass status

More than (sequence scan time

4)

(T0, T2)

 

 

Cyclic transmission status

 

 

Parameter communication status

More than (sequence scan time

3)

(T1, T3, T4)

 

 

Reason: This way the control is not stopped even if the network detects an instantaneous error due to a faulty cable condition and noise interference.

Also, the multipliers of 4 and 3 should only be considered as a guideline.

(3) REMFR/REMTO instruction

Perform programming so that the next instruction is executed after the REMFR/REMTO instruction is executed and then completed.

The completion of the REMFR/REMTO instruction can be confirmed by the completion device.

POINT

(1)After the execution of the REMFR/REMTO instruction, several scans are required before the read/write of the actual data is completed.

(2)For the interlock program for the remote master station and remote I/O station of the MELSECNET/H and details of the REMFR/REMTO instruction, refer to the "Q Corresponding MELSECNET/H Network System Reference Manual (Remote I/O Network)".
