  • Page 19: Overview

    Overview The FA Link H modules for interchanging data between FA-M3 CPUs allow the configuration of a high-speed data link over a long distance. F3LP02-0N and F3LP12-0N Modules - The F3LP02-0N FA Link H Modules use twisted-pair cables which allow easy installation and selection of four speeds -- 125 k, 250 k, 625 k and 1.25 Mbps.

  • Page 20: System Configuration

    System Configuration This section shows the system configurations that can be constructed using the FA-Link H Modules. 1.4.1 Single-layer System A single-layer system is a system with up to 32 modules connected through optical fiber cables or twisted-pair cables. Be sure to install the FA Link H module in a main unit. There is no restriction on the installed position in the main unit.

  • Page 21: Multi-Layer System

    1.4.2 Multi-layer System A multi-layer system refers to a system with multiple networks connected together. To interconnect multiple networks, attach 2 FA Link H modules to one CPU module to configure a multi-layer system. A unit to which two FA Link H modules are attached is called a relay station.

  • Page 22: Ras Function

    RAS Function - The link status can be checked using special relays or registers. - The F3LP02-0N module uses a bus-type communication configuration which allows all operating stations in a network to continue linking even in the event that a link module in the network, other than the master station, is down due to power failure or other reasons.

    Cautions on Using FA Link H Modules  Operation Mode Make sure that the operation modes of all link modules in a system are the same. If not, operation will not be normal. Normal mode High-speed mode Normal mode FA Link H F0611.VSD Figure 6.1 Example of Improper Setup Do not mix different modes in the configuration as shown in the figure above.

  • Page 86: Programming Precautions

     Programming Precautions - If a transmitting station fails, the contents of the data of that station are not assured. To check whether the data of a station is valid, verify the status of the station and the execution status of the sequence program of the said station using special relays.

  • Page 87: When A Slave Station Fails

     When a Slave Station Fails For the F3LP12-0N module, when a communication error occurs due to a slave station power failure or for other reasons, communication is interrupted for several hundred milliseconds for each station. Note If any of the stations in a network of F3LP12-0N modules are turned off, data link in the entire network cannot proceed.

  • Page 91: High-Speed Mode

    High-speed Mode The FA Link H supports high-speed mode for the link module operation. As compared to normal mode, high-speed mode: - Reduces the response time - Allows up to 1024 points of link devices per link system (maximum number of modules that can be installed is 8).

    Link Data Configuration This section describes the link relays and registers used in the FA Link H module. 7.3.1 Link Relays Link Relays are data-linked relays in the connected FA Link H system. In normal mode, one system incorporates a maximum of 2048 points. A maximum of 2048, 8192 and 16384 points of link relays are available for the F3SP05/08/21, F3SP25/35/28/53, and F3SP38/58/59, F3SP22, F3SP66/67, F3SP71-4S, F3SP76-7S CPU modules respectively.

    Restrictions on Mixing Modes (Normal and High-speed) in Link Systems If both normal and high-speed modes are used within a link system as shown in the figure below, some precautions must be observed when installing a link module or during configuration setup of the CPU module. When using two different modes in a system, always install or assign (for details, see Section 3.9.2 “Setting FA Link System Numbers”) normal mode to link 1.
