DeviceNet Area Section 9-8
4. PLC operation is stopped when a fatal error other than an FALS(007) error
occurs. (The contents of the Serial PLC Link Area will be retained when
FALS(007) is executed.)
IOM Hold Bit Operation If the IOM Hold BIt (A50012) is ON, the contents of the Serial PLC Link Area
will not be cleared when a fatal error occurs or the operating mode is changed
from PROGRAM mode to RUN/MONITOR mode or vice-versa.
If the IOM Hold BIt (A50012) is ON and the PLC Setup’s “IOM Hold Bit Status
at Startup” setting is set to protect the IOM Hold Bit, the contents of the Serial
PLC Link Area will not be cleared when the PLC’s power supply is cycled.
9-8 DeviceNet Area
The DeviceNet Area consists of 600 words from CIO 3200 to CIO 3799.
Words in the DeviceNet Area are allocated to Slaves for DeviceNet remote I/O
communications. Data is exchanged regularly to Slaves in the network (inde-
pendent of the program) through the DeviceNet Unit.
Words are allocated to Slaves using fixed allocations according to fixed allo-
cation settings 1, 2, and 3. One of these fixed areas is selected.
The following words are allocated to the DeviceNet Unit when the remote I/O
slave function is used with fixed allocations.
Bits in the DeviceNet Area can be force-set and force-reset.
Note There are two ways to allocated I/O in DeviceNet networks: Fixed allocations
according to node addresses and user-set allocations.
• With fixed allocations, words are automatically allocated to the slave in
the specified fixed allocation area according to the node addresses.
• With user-set allocations, the user can allocate words to Slaves from the
following words.
