Connection with System Devices

In addition to the WJ-MPU955A, other system devices are required in order to form the GX System.

■System Controllers

A system controller is an operator console, and it provides a user interface for operators to interact with the GX System. The system can support up to 64 system con- trollers.

●Ethernet-Based Controllers

To apply Ethernet communication, connect system con- trollers to the CPU's Ethernet port through an Ethernet hub in an IP-based local area network.

●Ethernet-Based Controller Setup

To add system controllers to the system in Ethernet com- munication, add an entry to the system controller database through the admin console. You need to assign a controller ID for each controller, and enter the Ethernet address from the bottom of each controller.

Note: Refer to the Admin Console User's Guide for details.

MODE

●For Manual Switchover Operation

1.Connect the Ethernet cable between the SYSTEM CONTROLLER ports of both CPUs.

(SERIAL ports are not used for MANUAL operation.)

2.Set the REDUNDANT YES/NO selector to YES, and set the REDUNDANT AUTO/MANUAL selector to MANUAL for both CPUs.

Note: If the REDUNDANT YES/NO and AUTO/MANUAL selector settings of both CPUs are mixed, the redundant function does not work properly. In this case, the ACTIVE indicator of either CPU blinks fast (around 0.5 seconds on, around 0.5 seconds off) during operation.
