b) Net Management
① Start Network (OFF) (enabled when monitoring is enabled): Starts and stops network communication.
② Synchronous Send: Synchronization will be triggered. You can enable the function in the user program
by setting M8291. M8291 will be automatically reset after synchronous data frames are sent.
③ Start Monitor (OFF): Starts and stops network monitoring.
c) Device
Type
: Filters displayed stations.
① Slave Start/Stop: Select a slave station and control start/stop of communication.
② Station Management: Click
Station Management
. The initialization wizard page is displayed. You can
modify parameters of the master or slave station.
③ Station conguration:
Double-click a station. The communication conguration window is displayed. Communication conguration
includes sending conguration, receiving conguration, and synchronization conguration (for the master
station only).
● Sending conguration
● Trigger Mode
① Time (ms): It is applicable to all devices. The station applies the conguration at a xed interval. The
value ranges from 1 to 30,000.
② Event (M): It is applicable to the host and PLC. The station applies the conguration when the trigger
condition (M) is set. An event can be triggered by the same M element. The element is automatically
reset after data is sent. Edge trigger instructions must be used to operate M elements; otherwise, the
network load will be excessive.
③ Synchronization (M): It is applicable to all devices. The master station applies the conguration when
M8291 is set. The element is automatically reset after data is sent.
④ Event (ms): It is applicable to IS, MD, and remote extension module (TCM/NTCM). The station applies
the conguration when it detects the changed value of sent register and the trigger condition (disabling
time) is met.
• The disabling time indicates the minimum interval for sending the same conguration.
• Maximum number of conguration items for one station: 256 for the host (master station), 16 for one slave station,
and 256 for all slave stations.
