You can record the node addresses and I/O configurations of Dummy Units in
the registration table to prepare for expansion of SmartSlice I/O Units. When
you add the I/O Units, it will not be necessary for you to set the node
addresses or I/O configurations. It will also not be necessary to change the
ladder programming very much. You can also write the ladder programming
for the full configuration and set the Units that you will add as Dummy Units.
When you change the unit configuration, it will not be necessary to change the
I/O map.
The Unit Conduction Time Monitor records the total time that the internal cir-
cuit power in DeviceNet Communications Unit is ON. You can set a threshold
in the CompoNet Communications Unit to tell the CompoNet Master Unit
when the conduction time is longer than the threshold. You can set the thresh-
old or read the conduction time with the CX-Integrator or with an explicit mes-
sage.
You can set a comment (for example, a name or the application) for each
CompoNet Communications Unit to record the name in the CompoNet Com-
munications Unit. You can use the comments to easily identify CompoNet
Communications Units when you set or monitor parameters with the CX-Inte-
grator. You can set or read the comments with the CX-Integrator or with an
explicit message.
There is a communications error history in the CompoNet Communications
Unit. It records the four newest errors in communications with the CompoNet
network and the 64 newest errors in communications in the SmartSlice I/O
Terminal. You can read the communications error status with the CX-Integra-
tor or with an explicit message.
You can record the last date on which you did maintenance in the CompoNet
Communications Unit. You can write the last maintenance date with the CX-
Integrator or with an explicit message.
