PLC	MICREX-SX NP1PH-08
Communication Unit	NP1L-RS2

Configuration environment

OS	WindowsXP Professional 32Bit

Configuration details

item	setting	Setting items	Configuration Example
PLC side settings	Set with switch	MODE	1 (loader)
PC settings	Unit Settings	COMPort	Communication port number to connect to
		Transmission speed	38400bps
		Byte Size	8bits
		Stop bits	1bits
		parity	Even
	Folder and communication test settings	Connection method	7B
	Folder and communication test settings	Connection ID	FE

* Most of the settings on the computer will be adjusted to match the settings on the unit.

When writing values to a PLC, be sure to set the PLC mode to "TERM". Writing is not possible in "RUN" or "STOP".

When using a communication unit equivalent to PV1L-RS2, the communication specifications are fixed (transmission speed: 38400bps, byte size: 8 bits, stop bit: 1 bit, parity: even). Therefore, there are no setting items.

Communication is also possible through the loader port attached to the CPU. The cable used with Fuji Electric's SX-Programmer(D300win can be used as is. There is no need to set up communication on the PLC side. The communication specifications are fixed (transmission speed: 38400bps, byte size: 8 bits, stop bit: 1 bit, parity: even).

PLC side settings

Set up the "NP1L-RS2" using the switch on the front.

1.Set the front switch as follows:
c_plc_0324

switch	explanation	Setting contents
MODE (Rotary Switch)	Transmission Mode	1 (loader)

For details on the switch settings, etc., please refer to Fuji Electric's "F55 Series General-Purpose Interface Card User Manual TYPE NV1L-RS2."

PC settings

Use the Server application to connect to the PLC for which you have set up communications.

1.Right-click "Application" - "Driver" in the tree and select Add Driver.

2.Select the following units from the displayed driver list and add them:
c_plc_0827

3.Open the properties of the added unit (U01) and click Communication Settings.
c_plc_0326

4.Set "Communication Settings" as follows:
c_plc_0327

setting	Setting contents
COMPort	Communication port number to connect to
Transmission speed	38400
Byte Size	8bits
Stop bits	1bits
parity	Even

5.USB-RS-If you are using a 232C conversion cable, the COM port may be locked in the event of a communication error, so check the reopen setting.
c_plc_0328

6.Perform a connection test to check the connection
c_plc_0329

If a message such as "Connection OK" is displayed, the connection is confirmed to be OK.

During the connection test and in the "Network Settings" of the folder settings, specify the module to be transmitted. (Separate the connection method and connection ID with a comma. Usually, it is 7B,FE.)

c_plc_0330

Transmission target module

Connection method

Connection ID

CPU0

* This has the same meaning as 7B (connection method) ,FE (connection ID). 7A (connection method),00 (connection ID) does not support redundant CPUs, so normally set it to 7B,FE.

CPU0 - CPU7 and

P/PE link, FL-net SX bus station number

FE - CPU number 0 (CPU0)

FD - CPU number 1 (CPU1)

...

F7 - CPU number 7 (CPU7)

F6 - CPU number 8 (P/PE link, FL-net)

...

EF - CPU number F (P/PE link, FL-net)
