Each setting item is described below.
Basic parameters
The basic parameters are used to set the FL-net function itself.
Table 1-6 Basic Parameters
Item Description
IP ADDRESS
Pa10
IP address of the local node.
The host address section (last numeric value) of this IP
address is the node number of the local node.
Only an IP address in class C can be specified.
NODE NAME
Pa17
An arbitrary node name not longer than 10 characters can be
specified.
Lowercase letters cannot be displayed and entered.
AREA1 ADDR
(Note 1) Pa11
Start address of common memory area 1 of the local node.
A value from 0 to 511 can be set.
AREA1 SIZE
(Note 1) Pa12
Data size of common memory area 1 of the local node.
A value from 0 to 512 can be set.
AREA2 ADDR
(Note 1) Pa13
Start address of common memory area 2 of the local node.
A value from 0 to 8191 can be set.
AREA2 SIZE
(Note 1) Pa14
Data size of common memory area 2 of the local node.
A value from 0 to 8192 can be set.
TOKEN WATCH
(Note 2)
Pa15
Token monitoring time.
Maximum duration of time for which the local node can hold
the token.
A value from 1 to 255 can be set. (Unit: ms)
MIN FRAME
Pa16
Minimum allowable frame time interval.
A value from 0 to 50 can be specified. (Unit: 100 µs)
Set an inter-frame time interval so that the local node can
receive data frames in succession. Usually, set 10 (1 ms).
NOTE
1 For common memory area 1, a value beyond 512
must not be specified. For common memory area
2, a value beyond 8192 must not be specified.
Otherwise, the FL-net function cannot participate in
the network.
2 A token monitoring time is set to reissue a token. If
the local node does not issue a token when the time
specified in this parameter has elapsed, the next
node reissues a token. This means that an
adequate value needs to be set in connection with
the amount of transmit data of the local node.
Usually, set 50 (50 ms).
