It is possible to mount more than one CompoBus/D Master Unit to one PC. This
section explains the factors that must be considered when mounting more than
one Master Unit.
Be sure not to overlap the memory areas allocated for remote I/O communica-
tions when mounting more than one Master to a PC. Use the Configurator's
"Check Master Parameter Duplication" command to check the Master parame-
ters in a network configuration file for data area duplications.
Other than avoiding data area duplications, the precautions for mounting more
than one Master are the same as those for mounting just one Master. Refer to
the previous parts of this section for information on settings and operations.
When more than one Master Unit is mounted to a CS1 Series, C200HX/HG/HE,
or C200HS PC, one of the Masters will be excluded and a mounting error will
occur when the power is first turned on. The PC will start up normally once the
Master parameters are written to the Masters.
The "Check Master Parameter Duplication" command compares the Master
parameters for two or more Masters in a network configuration file and warns
when the same area has been allocated for remote I/O in more than one Master.
1. Select "File" from the menu bar.
2. Select "Check Master Parameter Duplication" from the File menu. A window
will be displayed to select the network configuration file that you want to
check.
3. Select the desired network configuration file.
Several files in the same folder can be selected. To select more than one file,
press the Shift Key or Control Key while selecting files with the mouse.
4. Click on "Open." A window will be displayed to select the Master parameters
in the file.
