Communication Settings

The communication node is specified in the folder settings. The folder settings are used as the destination for message communication.

For common memory, the destination node settings are irrelevant and will be ignored.

In addition, common memory devices (CA/CB) can be set in the folder regardless of whether they are on the local node or other nodes. However, values cannot be written to the area of other nodes.

Communication Settings

•Your IP address
Specify the IP address of your own FL-net (FL-PCI) side.

•Own machine node
Specify the node number on your machine's FL-net (FL-PCI) side.

•PCI Card
Specifies the number of the PCI card.

Communication details

•Node Name
Specify the node name (up to 10 ASCII characters).

•Write minimum communication interval
Specifies the waiting time on the computer side from one write operation to the next. Error code "28If this error occurs, adjust the minimum write communication interval in 5 ms increments to 5, 10, 15...

•Waiting time
Specify the timeout period for communication processing in milliseconds. Normally, use the default value.

•Token Monitoring Interval
This is notified to all nodes and is used to detect node departure. It can be set in ms units from 1 to 255. Please refer to "How to calculate the token monitoring interval".

•Minimum Frame Spacing
The minimum frame interval is the time that each node must wait before transmitting a frame across the entire network. It can be set from 0 to 50 in 100μs units.

•Common memory 1 start address
This is the start address of common memory area 1 of your device's FL-net (FL-PCI). The unit is word and can be set from 0 to 512.

•Common memory 1 start size
This is the size of common memory area 1 of your device's FL-net (FL-PCI). The unit is words and can be set from 0 to 512.

•Common memory 2 start address
This is the start address of common memory area 2 of your device's FL-net (FL-PCI). The unit is word and can be set from 0 to 8191.

•Common memory 2 start size
This is the size of the common memory area 2 of your device's FL-net (FL-PCI). The unit is words and can be set from 0 to 8192.
