Overview The Yokogawa High-speed Link System (YHLS) master module F3LH01-1N has one YHLS master interface port, while the F3LH02-1N has two master interface ports for connecting slave units to perform remote I/O. Table 1.1 Applicable Module Model Code Module Name...
Features of YHLS 1.2.1 Communications between YHLS Master Module and Slave Units Through periodic communications with connected slave units, the YHLS master module acquires ON/OFF information of switches connected to these slave units into its input data area, as well as outputs information stored in its output data area as ON/OFF information for actuators.

Attaching/Detaching the Module Attaching the Module Figure 2.2 shows how to attach this module to the base module. First hook the anchor slot at the bottom of the module to be attached onto the anchor pin on the bottom of the base module.
Attaching the Module in Intense Vibration Environments If the module is used in intense vibration environments, fasten the module with a screw. Use screws of type listed in the table below. Insert these screws into the screw holes on top of the module and tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver.
Functions This chapter describes the functions of the YHLS master module. List of Functions Table 3.1 List of Functions Functions Description Section: I/O communication with slave units for ON/OFF control and Communication with slave units monitoring. The YHLS features a constant communication cycle time, which is not affected by automatic withdrawal or participation of slave units.
Communication with Slave Units 3.2.1 Starting Communications After setting the transmission speed, communications mode, the slave unit last address, and various registers as required, turn on the Request to Communicate relay start communication between the YHLS master module and the slave units. CAUTION Changes to the transmission speed, communications mode, last address and some other settings are applied when the Request to Communicate relay is turned on.
Constant Communication Cycle Time 3.3.1 When a Slave Unit is Withdrawn from Communication Slave units that are no longer available for communication due to power off or other reasons are withdrawn from YHLS communication but communication continues with the remaining normal slave units. Although there is no response for accesses to withdrawn slave units, remote scan time remains constant as no retries are attempted.
Output Control Function This function is used to suspend communications of the YHLS master module with slave units when the sequence CPU module “stops”. To enable this function, set the “Output when Stopped” setting to ‘Reset’ in the DIO setup for the slot installed with the F3LH0-1N master module in the configuration setup of the CPU module.
Response Time This chapter describes the response time of a remote I/O system. Data transfer time Remote scan time SequenceCPU YHLS master Slave unit module module Input data Internal Read Commu- Input instruction area nication devices Internal Output Commu- Write Output nication devices...
Page 30
Data transfer from sequence CPU module to YHLS master module Data stored in internal devices of the sequence CPU module is transferred to the output area of the YHLS master module by execution of a WRITE instruction. The instruction execution time depends on the sequence CPU type. Moreover, for some sequence CPU types, data transfer time is significantly reduced when the master module is installed in the main unit instead of a sub-unit.
Remote Scan time (RST) Remote scan time is the time required by the YHLS master module to update the data of all slave units. The remote scan time can be computed using the communications mode (full-duplex or half-duplex), transmission speed, and last address of slave units as shown below. ...
Communication Preparation Flow The following flowchart shows how to prepare for communications. Start Install the YHLS master module See Section 2.3, on the base module. "Attaching/Detaching the Module." Connect slave units to the YHLS See Section 2.2, master module. "External Connection." See Section 7.3, Set up the transmission speed.
List of I/O Relays The YHLS master module has 32 input and 32 output relays for interfacing with the FA-M3 sequence CPU module. Each of the input relays can be configured to raise an interrupt. Output Relays Table 6.1 Output Relays Output Relay Output Relay Name Description...
Input Relays Table 6.2 Input Relays Input Relay Number Input Relay Name Description Turns on when communication is started by X01 Communicating Y33. Turns off when Y33 is turned off. Turns on when communication is started if one or X02 Link more slave units are available for communication.
List of Registers Registers of the YHLS master module are grouped into the following four areas: Input data area : For storing data read from slave units Output data area : For storing data to be written to slave units Parameter setup area : For YHLS parameter setup Parameter monitoring area...

7.3.1 Last Address The Last Address parameter specifies the maximum slave unit address value that can be specified for communication. Specify this parameter as the largest slave unit address value or a larger value. The specified value must be between 1 and 63. If the specified last address is beyond this range, it is assumed to be 63.
7.3.3 Communications Mode Specify the communications mode of the master module to be the same as that of the slave units. There are two communications mode options: 0: Full-duplex 1: Half-duplex The default is 0 (= full-duplex). If a number other than 0 or 1 is specified, 0 (= full-duplex) is assumed.

7-11 7.4.5 Failed Slave List (non-latched) While scanning slave units within the address range defined by the Last Address parameter, if a problem is detected during communications with a slave unit specified for error monitoring, its corresponding bit in the Failed Slave List (non-latched) is set to 1. When the problem disappears (for instance, when a transient noise disappears so that the slave becomes accessible in the subsequent scan), the bit is automatically reset to If the bit of any slave unit is set to 1, the A (ALARM) LED lights up and the ALARM relay...

Once turned on, a bit is not reset to 0 even when the problem disappears.
