Starting Operation

The L W network requires installation of network configuration information into each node. When setting up the
ON ORKS
L W network for the first time, follow the procedures described below:
ON ORKS
1. Set up the
OpenNet Controller
the L W network using L
ON ORKS
2. Connect a network management tool to the network and install network configuration information to the L
interface module. See Network Management described below.
3. Download the user program to the CPU module.
4. Start the CPU module to run, then the CPU module starts to communicate with other nodes on the L
work as specified in the network configuration information and user program.
The delay until the communication starts after power-up depends on the size of the user program and the system setup.
While the CPU is stopped, data exchange between the CPU and L
tion with the L W

Data exchange between the CPU and L

Network Management

When setting up a L
ON
Use a network management tool available from other manufacturers (such as LonMaker for Windows Integration Tool) to
install network configuration information. An external interface file (XIF extension) unique to each product series is
needed to install the network configuration information. The external interface file for the L
available from IDEC. Find an XIF No. printed on the side of the L
When requesting an external interface file, inform IDEC of the XIF No. that represents the external interface file version
number. Without a correct external interface file of the matching XIF No., network configuration information cannot be
installed successfully.
The network configuration information includes addressing, binding, and configuration.
Addressing:
Binding:
Configuration:

Caution
the message service for network variables and set the retry cycles to a value of 1 or more. If com-
munication is performed using other than the ACKD service, the ERR LED on the interface mod-
ule does not function properly.
• When installing the network configuration information without modifying the application pro-
gram, an external interface file (XIF extension) containing information, such as the network vari-
ables of the L
• The user must keep a backup file of the network configuration information used for network man-
agement.
