9.2 Normal operation
(1) Operation mode
The operation mode should be protected mode in the normal operation. In this
protected mode, when the configuration mismatch is occurred by the cable
disconnection, AS-i communication error, or the slave unit failure, CER LED lit and the
mismatch slave is displayed on 7 segments LED.
(2) Alarm observation
The alarm signal on the I/O Link (X+18: bit 1; 1 means that the alarm is occurred)
should be watched by the ladder program of host CNC. When the alarm of the converter
unit is occurred, let the PMC alarm occur to inform the alarm to the maintenance person
by the ladder program. The maintenance person can check the LED display or the
status signal on the I/O Link (X+16-18) and deal with the error.
(3) Configuration mismatch
Configuration mismatch means that the current slave configuration is not same as the
configuration, which is configured when the operation mode is changed from the
configuration mode to the protected mode.
When the protected mode and the CER LED is lit, every number of mismatch slaves is
displayed successively by pressing the DISP switch.
The ladder program of host CNC should watch the configuration mismatch status
(X+16:bit 7). When the mismatch is occurred, let the PMC alarm occur to inform to the
maintenance person by the ladder program. The maintenance person can check the
LED display by pressing DISP switch to know the mismatch slave number and deal with
it. The mismatch slave number can be displayed on the LCD of the host CNC by the
ladder program.
(4) Possible cause of the configuration mismatch
The cable disconnection, the communication error, or the failure of the AS-i slave unit
causes the configuration mismatch.
a) A cable disconnection
In case of cable disconnection, all slaves after disconnection point may be
mismatched.
b) A communication error
Instantaneous communication error may be canceled and operated normally after the
power is off. Check if the electrical connection of the AS-i slave, the noise source
near cable and slaves.
c) A slave unit failure
If the mismatch is occurred permanently after the power is turned on again, the slave
unit may be failed.
When the LED AUP is lit, you can replace the slave unit with address 0 and this slave
address is set automatically by automatic addressing function.
When the plural slave are replaced, slave address must be set by using the
Addressing Device.
d) An unconfigured AS-i slave is connected
(5) AS-i data ready flag (X+18: bit 0)
When the AS-i data ready flag is on, the data on the I/O Link is valid. DI signal should
not be used when the AS-i data ready flag is off. This flag should be check by the
ladder program.
