9-6
9-3 Expansion of network
The JW-21MN can transmit data between 64 stations at maximum. If more than 64 stations are
required for data link, you can add communication stations with the procedure below.
[1] Multiple installation of the JW-21MN
Mounting more than one JW-21MN on the basic rack panel of the JW20/JW20H/JW30H can increase
the number of stations.
[In the case of mounting 4 sets of JW-21MN]
- When installing multiple number of modules on a single PC, make them allocated so that relay
link area, register link area, and flag area may not overlap with each other.
- When installing multiple number of modules on a single PC, pay attention to the total communica-
tion data volume and the number of bytes available for communication area.
- Though more than one JW-21MN can be mounted on single basic rack panel, they cannot
directly communicate with other stations beyond one network.
