mission system.
Tab Name Function
Transmission Parameters
(Parameter Settings) Sets the 215IF transmission parameters.
Link Assignment Allocates the 215IF link transmissions.
I/O Map Sets the I/O map.
Status Displays the Link status.
Setting Item Details
Own Station No. Input the local station number (1 to 64) of the 215IF Module.
Own Network No. Input the network number (1 to 254) of the network in which the
215IF Module is connected.
Token 1 Cycle Time
Setting *
Input the desired time (5 to 100) for the interval between station
receptions of the token.
MEMOBUS Response
Monitoring Time Input the time to wait (0 to 255) for a response after sending a
MEMOBUS command by executing the MSG-SND function.
If the time is set between 1 and 255, a timeout will occur after the
time setting x 2 s and the MSG-SND function will return an error.
If the time is set to 0, the MSG-SND function will wait indefinitely
for a response without returning an error.
Station Search
Interval
*
Input the number of cycles (5 to 1,000) between each search for a
new station. A station search will be performed at this interval (once
every 5 to 1,000 token cycles) to determine whether a new station
has been started.
Transmission Speed * Select the 215IF transmission speed (1, 2, or 4 Mbps).
Max No. of Stations
Connected
*
Input the maximum number of stations that can be connected (16,
32, 48, or 64). This setting is used as an upper limit value during sta-
tion searches. Input a value higher than the local station number
shown in the "Own Station No." box.
1 Token
A token is a piece of data that circulates from station to station in the network and provides each station
with the right to send data. The Token Cycle Time is the time required for the token to make a complete
cycle through the network and return to a given station.
