2.5 Selecting (Setting) the Operation Mode
The operation mode is set using a parameter.
Set the mode selector switch on the front panel of the controller to the MANU position, and set parameter No. 84,
“FMOD: Fieldbus operation mode” using the RC PC software (V6.00.05.00 or later). (Refer to 2.10, “DeviceNet
Parameters.”)
Set value Operation mode
Number of occupied
stations
0 (Factory setting) Remote I/O mode 1CH
1 Position/simple direct mode 4CH
2 Half direct mode 8CH
3 Full direct mode 16CH
4 Remote I/O mode 2 6CH
* If any other value is entered, an excessive input error will occur.
2.6 Setting the Node Address
The node address is set using a parameter.
Set parameter No. 85, “NADR: Fieldbus node address” using the RC PC software. (Refer to 2.10, “DeviceNet
Parameters.”)
Allowable setting range: 0 to 63 (The parameter has been set to “63” at the factory.)
(Note) Exercise caution to avoid node address duplication.
The nodes (controllers) are assigned in the order of their node address in the remote I/O address areas of
the PLC. (This is when the mount assignment mode is selected. A different rule applies when a
configurator is used.)
For details, refer to the operation manuals of the master unit and PLC installed in the master unit.
(Note) The baud rate is automatically set to the same value as the baud rate set in the master. Accordingly, you
need not set the baud rate.
(Note) After you have set the parameter, reconnect the controller power and return the mode selector switch on
the front panel of the controller to the AUTO position. If the switch remains in the MANU position,
operation by the PLC cannot be performed.
