controllers are connected to a TIWAY
I network through Network Interface Modules (NIMs). The PM550
PLC
can be connected with a Computer Interface Module (CIM), but it limits the
configuration choices. The UniLink Adapter is a TIWAY I interface device
that allows other devices, such as the following, to be connected to a TIWAY
I network.
• Robots
• Computer numerical controlled machines
• Non-TI500/TI505 programmable controllers
• Intelligent instruments
• Computer equipment
The S5 UniLink Adapter provides a communication link between the
TIWAY I network and the S5 family of PLCs. Figure 1-4 shows an example
of a TIWAY I network which includes the S5 Adapter.
