Overview
Features and Functions of Version-1 and CLK23 Models
Up to 62 nodes can be connected.
Automatic data link creation is possible with 1:N allocations.

The following features and functions apply to the CS1W-CLK23, CS1W-
CLK21-V1, CJ1W-CLK23, and CJ1W-CLK21-V1 Controller Link Units and the
3G8F7-CLK23-E and 3G8F7-CLK21-EV1 Controller Link Support Board only.
Overview
When a CS1W-RPT01 Repeater Unit is used, the maximum number of nodes
that can be used in the network increases to 62. (The previous limit was 32.)
Method
Use Repeater Units and select Max Node Number set 62 in the FinsGateway
drive settings to enable a maximum of 62 nodes.
Restrictions
• The maximum of 62 nodes cannot be achieved if pre-version-1 models
are used together in the same network with version-1 models or with
CLK23 models (i.e., the CS1W-CLK23, CJ1W-CLK23, or 3G8F7-CLK23-
E).
• Using the maximum 62 nodes can be enabled using FinsGateway 2003.
This setting is not possible with FinsGateway version 3.@@.
Overview
It is possible to perform unequal 1:N allocations of data between nodes with
automatic data link creation. This makes it easy to perform data links that for-
merly required the user to manually edit data link parameters.
The following four automatic data link creation patterns can be used:
• Equality layout (the previous pattern)
• 1:N allocation, common type
• 1:N allocation, 1 to 1 type
• 1:N allocation, chain type
This setting can be made in CS-series or CJ-series Controller Link Units.
Method
Allocation addresses and sizes are all specified using the Automatic Data Link
Creation Parameters (D30000 × Unit No. + 12 to 20) in the DM Parameter
Area. These values can be set using the CX-Net in the CX-Programmer ver-
sion 3.2 or later.
Objective
This function is effective in applications that collect data from slave PCs into a
master PC.
Restrictions
• A Controller Link Support Board cannot be set as the startup node.
• These settings can be made using FinsGateway 2003. They are not pos-
sible with FinsGateway version 3.@@.
Automatic data link creation with 1:N allocations cannot be performed if pre-
version-1 models are used together in the same network with version-1 mod-
els or with CLK23 models (i.e., the CS1W-CLK23, CJ1W-CLK23, or 3G8F7-
CLK23-E).
