Device individual/continuous write
Monitor variable registration
Monitor execution
1:1 connection (Our link) system configuration
XGB’s built-in communication function supports Cnet communication without any separate Cnet
I/F module. It must be used under the following instructions.
1) Channel 0 of XGB’s main unit supports 1:1 communication only. For 1:N system having master-
slave Format, use RS-485 communication in channel 1 or XGB’s main unit with XGL-C41A module
connected. XGL-C41A module supports RS-422/485 protocol.
2) RS-232C communication cable for XGB’s main unit is different from RS-232C cable for
XG5000 (XG-PD) in pin arrangement and from the cable for Cnet I/F module, too. The cable
can’t be used without any treatment. For the detailed wiring method, refer to configuration of
respective communication.
3) It’s possible to set baud rate type and station No. in XG5000 (XG-PD).
