Network Topology; Communication Period Setting - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F FX5 Series User Manual

Network Topology

Select the network topology type according to the actual network configuration.
Setting is not required and can be left as "Line/Star" (default).

Communication Period Setting

Perform basic cycle setting and multiple cycle setting.
• Basic cycle setting requires calculation of the communication cycle interval and cyclic transmission time. (Page 201
Communication cycle intervals)
• Multiple cycle setting is used when communication cycles coexist. (Page 31 Communication cycle coexistence)

*1 An error occurs if it is set in the Motion module with the firmware version "1.001" or earlier.
When the TSN switching hub is used, set the timeslot information from the setting values in "Basic Period
Setting".
The timeslot information can be checked with the buffer memory. (Page 177 Timeslot information)
Description
Input a communication cycle interval.
Necessary time for the system to guarantee the
communication cycle interval.
Of communication cycle intervals, set the time to be allocated
to cyclic transmission.
The value of "Communication Period Interval Setting" minus
"Cyclic Transmission Time" and "System Reservation Time" is
displayed.
Select the "Normal-Speed" cycle for a basic cycle.
Setting is not required and can be left as "4".
Select the "Low-Speed" cycle for a basic cycle.
