Setting Data Links

Section 5-2

Note 1. Be sure to set the bit in the DM Area’s (CPU Bus Unit Area’s) software switches (DM30000 + 100 unit number) described as “always set to 0” to

0. Not doing so may result in the data link not starting properly.

2.The default data link mode is for manual setting (00), but check the setting from the Programming Device.

3.A data link mode can be set in a data link startup node only. The data link mode setting is determined by the data link mode of the startup node even if the data link mode settings of the nodes participating in the data links are different from the settings in the startup node.

4.In manual setting, a data link table must be set in the data link startup node and in automatic setting, automatic data link setting parameters must be set in the data link startup node. Data links will not be started unless the settings are correct.

5.Always check whether the data link settings for all startup nodes in the cor- responding network are correct to prevent starting up using with incorrect data link modes and parameters. Make sure that both automatic setting and manual setting modes are not used together in the same network and that automatic settings with different parameters are not used.

5-2-2 Manual Setting

Transfer the data link tables that were created on the Controller Link Support

Software or CX-Net (in CX-Programmer) to the Controller Link Unit or the

Controller Link Support Board (for IBM PC/AT or compatible computers).

The data link tables are transferred from a computer running the Controller Link Support Software. The computer can either be a node in the network or a computer attached as a Programming Device.

Setting data link tables

Note 1. When transferring data link tables to a CS/CJ-series PLC, turn OFF pin 1 of the DIP switch on the CPU Unit. Otherwise, data link tables cannot be written normally.

2.When transferring the data link tables to a CVM1 or CV-series PLC, set the System Protect Keyswitch on the CPU Unit to “NORMAL.” Otherwise, data link tables cannot be written normally.

3.Use the CX-Net in CX-Programmer version 1.20 or higher for CQM1H Controller Link Units. The Controller Link Support Software can also be used. (Refer to the Controller Link Support Software Operation Manual

(W308) for details.)
