3.3 Implementation of FL-net
The following two classes are defined considering differences among necessities
of FL-net transmission functions for various devices.
Class Cyclic transmission Message transmission Class
Sending Receiving Client function Server function
1 Mandatory Mandatory Optional Optional
2 Not applicable Optional Optional Optional
Notes:
1 "Sending "of "cyclic transmission" indicates a function that the node allocates
common memory and that it transmits data in the common memory of the
own node to other nodes cyclically.
2 "Receiving "of "cyclic transmission" indicates a function that the system
receives data from the common memory of other nodes cyclically.
3 The "client function" of "message transmission" indicates a function that the
node transmits request messages and that it receives response messages.
4 The "server function" of "message transmission" indicates that the node
processes request messages and that it returns response messages.
3.3.1 Information Tables
Types of management table
Node status management is divided into self-node management table,
participating node management table, and network management table.
1 The self-node management table manages the settings of the self-node.
2 The participating node management table manages the information of the
nodes of in-ring the network.
3 The network management table manages the common network information.
The MVI69-FLN module conforms to the mandatory items in the following tables.
