    PRECAUTIONS This section provides general precautions for using the Controller Link Unit and related devices. The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable application of the Controller Link Unit. You must read this section and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate a Controller Link Unit.
  • Page 17: Intended Audience

    It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the speci- fied purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying a PLC System to the above mentioned appli- cations.
  • Page 18: Operating Environment Precautions

    Operating Environment Precautions • The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter- measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
  • Page 19: Applications Precautions

    Applications Precautions • Locations subject to shock or vibration. !Caution Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the following locations: • Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise. • Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields. •...
  • Page 20 Applications Precautions • Always use the power supply voltages specified in the operation manuals. An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning. • Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable.
  • Page 21: Conformance To Ec Directives

    The Controller Link Units conform to EMC Directives as follows: EMC Directives OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards (see the following note).
  • Page 22 2) for EMS but, depending on the backup power supply used, they may not conform to the standard for immunity to surges (IEC61000-4-5). In order to ensure conformance, either use an OMRON S82K-series power supply, which is the recommended backup power supply, or take surge counter- measures at the primary side.

    What Is the Controller Link? The Controller Link is an FA network that can send and receive large data packets flexibly and easily among the OMRON C200HX/HG/HE Programma- ble Controllers (PLCs), CS-series PLCs, CVM1 PLCs, CV-series PLCs, and IBM PC/AT or compatible computers.

  • Page 28 Section 1-1 Overview Data Links Data links allow the constant sharing of data in predetermined data areas between nodes, between PLCs, or between a PLC and an IBM PC/AT or com- patible computer on the network. Data links do not require the use of commu- nications programs on the PLC (CPU Unit) or IBM PC/AT or compatible computer.
  • Page 29 CMND The CMND instruction issues a command to read or write data of other nodes, control, or read error logs. With the Controller Link Unit, OMRON’s command protocol called “FINS commands” is used. RAS performs real-time monitoring of the network status. If an error occurs in the network, RAS records and displays the time and contents of the error.

  • Page 34 Overview Section 1-1 Two Controller Link Units that are used in duplex operation are treated as just one node in the Controller Link Network and can be used in the same way as pre-version 1 models (i.e., without “-V1” at the end of the model number). The operating status of the active Controller Link Unit is constantly stored in the standby Controller Link Unit and so operation continues smoothly if there is an active/standby switchover between the Units.
