Specifications
MELSEC-I/OLINK
: Compatible,
AnyWire DB A20
Communication with up to 128 slave
stations is possible.
I/O information is stored in the buffer
memory.
The device that data are read from and
written to the buffer memory by the
FROM/TO instruction will be assigned
to the remote station module address in
the program.
The LED display (ALM) on the master
station notifies a user of faulty stations.
An error is notified by the I/O signal
(Xn4: Disconnection detected) from the
AnyWire DB A20 master module. Note,
however, an external output is not
performed from terminals.
Cable disconnection can be checked by
the ON status of the LEDs on the
master station and slave stations.
The master station is provided with a
function to automatically recognize the
number of occupied points and the set
address of the connected station.

numbers are required
because the concept of the
addresses is different.
Change of the sequence
program is required because
the notifying device differs. If
an external output is required,
an output signal is necessary.
Though the setting method
differs, a station that is not
connected can be detected.
