Chapter 6 High-speed Link Service 
 
6.1 Introduction 
 
High-speed link (HS link) is a communication method between XGT PLC communication modules to 
send and receive data with High-speed link parameters setting, which can also allow the user to use 
XG5000 to exchange data with parameters setting of Send/Receive data size, communication period, 
Send/Receive area and area to save through its data transmission service function. 
However, since High-speed link service uses the subnet broad service, it may have an influence on 
other communication modules which use the identical network. Thus, setting block size as near to the 
maximum  Send/Receive  size (400 bytes  or 200 words) as available per High-speed  link block is 
recommended for the user to obtain the greatest communication efficiency with the lowest influence on 
other modules so to reduce the sum of blocks. In order to make use of all functions, surely specify the 
basic communication parameters in the status of communication available.   
 
High-speed link functions are specified as below; 
 
1) High-speed link block setting function   
(1)  If there are many Send/Receive areas, up to 128 blocks can be setup. 
(2) 200 words are available for a block. 
2) 
Communication period setting function   
Send/Receive period can be setup per block by user for the areas where especially fast Tx/Rx 
is required and not required respectively in a Tx/Rx period of 20ms to 10 sec. 
3) 
Send/Receive area setting function 
Send/Receive  area  can be setup  per data block by user according to memory  address 
specified. 
4) Providing function of High-speed link information   
Reliable communication system can be easily configured by providing High-speed  link 
information for user via the user keyword. 
 
[Table 6.1.1] shows the data capacity of High-speed link communication whose basic unit is 1 word.
