Host Link Function for Replacing Existing PLCs Section 4-6
Relationship with 1:N/1:1 Protocol Settings
The 1:N/1:1 Host Link protocol setting depends on the compatible device
mode, as follows:
• Mode A (CS/CJ/C), mode B (CVM1/CV): 1:N Host Links only
• Mode C (C200H), mode D (C500/120): Either 1:N or 1:1 Host Links
Allocated DM Area Settings (Setup Area)
m = D30000 + 100 × unit number
Setting Examples when Replacing PLCs
A host computer program that has been created using a C500-LK101/201/
103/203 Host Link Unit can be reused in a Serial Communications Board/Unit
with Unit Ver. 1.2 or later by making the following settings to enable the 1:1
Host Link protocol.
• 1:N/1:1 Host Link protocol setting: 1 (ON = 1:1 Host Link)
• Host Link compatible device mode setting: 3 hex (mode C (C500/120))
