Page 49: Cyclic Transfer And Data Area
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function [8] Cyclic transfer and data area (1) Outline of the cyclic transfer process The cyclic transfer process is a function that supports cyclic data exchanges that occur between nodes. 1 Establishes the common memory function. 2 Transmits when a node receives the token.
Page 50: Common Memory
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function (2) Common memory The description of the common memory is as follows. 1 The common memory allows the memory to be shared between nodes performing a cyclic transfer. 2 Two types of areas (area 1 and area 2) are allocated for each node. 3 If an area needed by a node to send its data exceeds the transfer size allowed for one frame, namely, more than 1024 bytes, the node should use multiple frames to send the data.
Page 51: Area 1 And Area 2
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function The common memory can also be used exclusively as a receiving area. Node 01 common memory Node 02 Node 05 (Receive) (Receive) (Send) (Receive) (Send) (Receive) Example 2: Common memory during a cyclic transfer (3) Area 1 and area 2 One node can be allocated two data areas (area 1 and area 2) for common memory.
Page 52: Guarantee Of Simultaneity
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function (4) Guarantee of simultaneity The cyclic transfer divides data into frames, depending on the amount of data being sent. The FL-net guarantees the simultaneity on common memory of each node using the following proce- dures. Note: When area 2 exceeds 3084 bytes, the JW-50FL cannot guarantee the simultaneity of the data for hardware reasons.
Page 53: Message Transfers
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function [9] Message transfers (1) Outline of the message transfer process The message transfer process is a function that allows asynchronous data to be exchanged be- tween nodes. The basic operation of the message transfer process is shown below. 1 When a node receives a token, it will send a maximum of one frame of message data before the cyclic frame data sending.

FL-net Command line (JW-20FL5/20FLT) [An example of using the JW-20FL5/20FLT] - When making a two-layer communication with the FL-net, the frame needs to contain the information including the source, transit stations, and destination, and slot number (i.e. designating the communi- cation path).
Page 121 Chapter 9: Message transfers Note The two-layer communication is possible only with the computer link to the module on the FL-net from the host computer on the Ethernet via transit stations. Communication in the reverse direction, or the computer link from the host computer on the FL-net to this module, is not possible. Example: In the following example as shown in the diagram, the expansion header needs to be as follows.

Page 165: Principles Of The Fl-Net System
Chapter 15: Appendix [7] Principles of the FL-net system The goal of an FL-net is real-time communication between controllers, such as programmable control- lers, robot controllers, and numeric control devices, in production systems. The FL-net constructs a token passing mechanism using an instantaneous information transfer based on Ethernet UDP/IP protocols to execute cyclic and message communications.
Page 166: Definition Of Network Systems
Chapter 15: Appendix 15-3 Definition of network systems [1] Communication protocol standards The term "Communication protocol" refers to the rules for exchanging information between systems on a particular communication circuit. The communication protocols used by FL-net conform to the follow- ing standards.
Page 167: Physical Implementations Of An Fl-Net
Chapter 15: Appendix [3] Physical implementations of an FL-net There are five physical implementations of an Ethernet network that support a 10M bps data transfer speed. They are 10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-F, and 10BROAD36 (this is not common/). In addition to these implementations, a 100M bps Ethernet transmission speed is also available. The FL-net supports 10BASE5 (recommended), 10BASE2, and 10BASE-T hardware.
Page 168: Fl-Net Sub Net Mask
Chapter 15: Appendix [5] FL-net sub net mask The sub net mask on an FL-net is always "255.255.255.0." The user does not need to set this sub net value. This value is identical to the original network address section and the device address section of the class C.

Page 173: Network Control Of The Fl-Net
Chapter 15: Appendix 15-4 Network control of the FL-net [1] Token control of the FL-net (1) Token Basically, a node can send data whenever it holds a token. A node can send data without holding a token when it reissues a token due to a time out of the token monitor time, or when it issues a participation request frame so that it can begin participating in the network.
Page 174: Flow Of The Token
Chapter 15: Appendix (2) Flow of the token Basically, only one token exists on the same network. If there are two or more tokens on the same network, the token from the node with the smaller node number takes priority, and the other tokens are discarded. A frame with a token (a token frame) consists of a destination node number and the node number of the node sending the token.
Page 175: Token And Data
Chapter 15: Appendix (3) Token and data There are six data patterns that can be attached to and sent with a token, as follows. Token and data Details Item No data to attach Only sends the token Token Cyclic data only Only attaches cyclic data to the token Token + Cyclic data Sends only cyclic data.
Page 176: Interval Between Frames (Minimum Allowable Interval Between Frames)
Chapter 15: Appendix (4) Interval between frames (minimum allowable interval between frames) The time interval after a node receives a token until it sends a frame is referred to as the "frame interval." The minimum interval that each node must wait for, before sending a frame, is referred to as the "minimum allowable frame interval."...
Page 177: Joining And Leaving An Fl-Net Network
Chapter 15: Appendix [2] Joining and leaving an FL-net network (1) Participation in the FL-net Each node monitors the circuit while the FL-net starts up, to determine the interval of a participating token detection time. When that time has elapsed, if it does not receive a token, the node concludes that the network is just starting and tries to join the network as it starts.
Page 178 Chapter 15: Appendix Participation in an existing network When the JW-50FL receives a token within the participating token detection time, it concludes that it is linked to a network that is already established, and waits for a participation request frame up to three token cycles.
Page 179: Leaving An Fl-Net Network
Chapter 15: Appendix (2) Leaving an FL-net network Each node checks the node numbers each time it receives a token frame. If the JW-50FL does not receive a token frame from a certain node three times in a row, the node is regarded as having left the network.
Page 180: Node Status Control
Chapter 15: Appendix [3] Node status control The status control of nodes consists of a local node management table, a participating nodes manage- ment table, and a network management table. An outline of each is shown below. Outline of each table used for node status control Name Details Local node management table...
Page 181: Fl-Net Participating Node Management Table
Chapter 15: Appendix [5] FL-net Participating node management table (1) Basic functions The status of each node is monitored by the management table which each node keeps for itself. This table handles the data used to control each node participating in the network. The operation is outlined below.

Page 188 Chapter 15: Appendix Repeater A repeater is used to relay or transfer signals. It is used for communication between segments using different media, to extend the length of a segment, to increase the number terminals that can be connected, or to convert from one cable type to another. A repeater reads the electronic signals from one segment, amplifies the signal as required, and sends it to all the segments connected to the repeater.
Page 189: Coaxial Connectors
Chapter 15: Appendix (2) Coaxial cable Coaxial cable consists of a center conductor and an external conductive layer that functions as a shield. Coaxial cables used for Ethernet connections must have 50 ohms of impedance. An RG58A/ U cable can be used with 10BASE2 and a yellow cable can be used with 10BASE5. The maximum length of a single 10BASE2 cable is 185 m and the maximum length of a 10BASE5 cable is 500 m.
Page 190: Relay Connector
Chapter 15: Appendix (4) Relay connector This connector is used to make a connection between coaxial cables. Although the repeater is used to extend a segment, a relay connector is used to extend a cable in the same segment. Be careful because the use of multiple relay connectors on the same line may change the electrical resistance of the coaxial cable.
