Chapter 6 Sample Program 6.2 Example using XGI-CPU In this section, high speed link parameter setting method is provided with sample programs for an XGT Fnet system as shown below Here, the high speed link parameter settings are in accordance with the XGI #1. With the Fnet system below, high speed link parameter setting method is described as below.
Page 51
Chapter 6 Sample Program The result of parameter setting in the XG-PD is as follows.
(add 2 instead of 1 as safety factor). E.g.) In an XGT series with 20 transmission blocks, the 3 tokens are required for data transmission. 4) Max. Guarantee Time for Inter-Station Data Communication Transmission PLC delay time + reception PLC delay time + transmission time If the No.
Stations The case below is based on; an XGT series having the station numbers and transmission blocks as presented below; program scan of each station is 10msec, and; the time required for the station 4 transmitting data to the station 1.
Chapter 7 Max. Guarantee Time for Data Communication 7.3 Master Switching Time Any station in the FNET can be a master station through competition for master. The station then acts as the LAS station and other stations act as slave stations. If the master is disabled for any reason, other stations compete for the mastership. This takes a little time which can be calculated as follows.
APPENDIX APPENDIX А.1 Terms and Definitions Self station The Fnet I/F modules currently connected with XG-PD. Usually, of the Fnet I/F modules installed in the current PLC, those which are connected to XG-PD and monitored and diagnosed. Destination station Other F-net I/F modules connected with the self station via Fnet. Usually refers to the Fnet I/F modules installed in other PLCs, the Fnet I/F modules installed in other slots of the current PLC may in this category.
