Description
A setting value assigned to a slave module to identify each node on the AnyWireASLINK network
A hand-held device to read/write device parameters (including addresses) from/to a slave module
A reduced wiring network where sensors at the end of a control system are connected to a programmable controller.
This network enables a master module to detect sensor disconnection and enables a user to set the I/O operations of an
AnyWireASLINK system on the RJ51AW12AL from the upper system without using the I/O areas of the CPU module.
Memory in an intelligent function module for storing data such as setting values and monitored values.
A device (X, Y, M, D, or others) in a CPU module
Another term for the software package for the MELSEC programmable controllers
A parameter to identify whether the module is an input module or output module based on its address
A module that has functions other than input and output, such as an A/D converter module and D/A converter module
A label that represents a device in a given character string
A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each module in a given
character string.
For the module used, GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global label.
A cable that connects a 24VDC external power supply to the RJ51AW12AL.
This cable is also used when the isolation (4-line) type slave module and RJ51AW12AL are connected.
An abbreviation for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability. This term refers to usability of automated equipment.
A waveform shaper
A signal cable that connects between a slave module and the RJ51AW12AL
A data sampling interval
Description
A generic term for sensor amplifiers that have an AnyWireASLINK interface
A generic term for I/O devices that have an AnyWireASLINK interface
A generic term for slave modules that communicate bit data only with the RJ51AW12AL.
There are following types of bit slave module:
• Bit input slave module
• Bit output slave module
• Bit I/O combined slave module
Some slave modules can be operated as a word slave module depending on the setting.
A generic term for the MELSEC iQ-R series CPU modules
A generic term for modules that communicate data with the RJ51AW12AL.
There are following types of slave module:
• Bit slave module
• Word slave module
A generic term for slave modules that communicate word data only with the RJ51AW12AL.
There are following types of word slave module:
• Word input slave module
• Word output slave module
• Word I/O combined slave module
Some slave modules can be operated as a bit slave module depending on the setting.
