5.5 CP-215 Transmission Definitions
This section explains how to set the parameters for the CP-215 transmission system.
5.5.1 Overview of CP-215 Transmissions
The CP-215 transmission system is a unique real-time Yaskawa network with a baud rate of
4 Mbps. Twisted-pair cable is used for the transmission lines, so an inexpensive but highly
reliable transmission system can be constructed.
The settings required for CP-215 transmissions are divided into four tab pages: the Parame-
ter Settings, Link Assignments, I/O Map, and Status Tabs.
There are two kinds of transmissions in a CP-215 Transmission System: Link transmissions
and message transmissions. The required settings for the link transmissions are made here.
Link transmissions are repeated every cycle according to the settings made here. Message
transmissions are programmed in DWG/function programs using the MSG-SND and MSG-
RCV functions.
