Chapter 9: Description for Data Link Operation

The data link function is used to send and receive ON/OFF signals (relay link) and data (register link) between modules by assigning one module from PCs or FA devices as the master station and other units as slave stations in the satellite net system. Up to 64 sets of PCs and FA devices can be connected in the satellite net.

Each station sends data in its sending area cyclically and stores data received from other stations in its receiving area. For the JW-21MN to execute automatically these sending and receiving procedures, a special program for communications is required.

When the JW-21MN is assigned as a slave station, it has the standard function and save memory function for data link, but the data contents for receiving from other stations is different between these two functions. (When the JW-21MN is used as a master station, only the standard function is available.) [When all of a master station and slave stations are JW-21MN]

9-1 Communication method

[1] Data link (Standard function)

Each station cyclically sends and receives ON/OFF signals and data of the relay link area and register

 

link area set to a master station parameter.

(1) Relay link

Mainly used for sending and receiving ON/OFF information

 

 

[Example] In the case of sending 1-byte data from a master station and slave stations 01 and 02.

- The link relay of the receiving station must be programmed as input signal by the PC program- ming. Also, it may be used as source (S) side of application instruction.

- The sending and receiving data correspond in bits of one point unit.
