1.8.4 Notes
- Connecting an I/O Link
When I/O Link β is used as a slave of an I/O Link, the CNC assigns
I/O addresses. The slave data is input and output in 16-byte units.
Therefore, be sure to specify 128 as the number of input/output points.
Up to eight slaves can be connected.
The module name is OC021 (16-bit input) or OC020 (16-byte output).
BASE is always 0 and SLOT is always 1.
- Function of ignoring the Power Mate CNC manager
After setting and checking data required for each slave connected, you
can stop communication with the Power Mate CNC manager function
to send a command from the CNC ladder to the slave.
When bit 3 (PMN) of parameter No. 960 is set to 1, communication
between the CNC and the slave via the I/O Link is all open to the
ladder. While this bit is 1, the Power Mate CNC manager function
does not operate.
- Data protection key
When the program data protection key of the CNC is on, no
parameters can be input to the CNC program memory.
