1.1 General

Here describes about Rnet network of GLOFA, MASTER-K PLC system specifically. Important characteristic of Rnet network is reducing the expense of installing and maintenance, diversity of system configuration, easiness of installing and maintenance, easiness of change of system. This network supports the electric network (Twisted-pair cable) that is cheap and easy to install for diversity of network configuration. And we are supporting the repeater option module for special purpose. The Rnet module can be used in both GLOFA and MASTER-K PLC and applied diversely according to system.

Note

1) GMWIN V3.0 and KEL-WIN V2.0 are used for this manual.

2) To use GM7-Rnet, you should use more than GMWIN V3.42/GM7 O/S V1.4

4.3.1 Electric(twisted pair) cable

Cable for electric network connection uses only No.6 and No.7 of the connector pin, No.6 signal of

communication module connector A is connected to No.6 of communication connector B, and No.7 of

connector A is connected to No.7 of connector B. Body of connector(metal : electrically conductive) is

connected with other module by shielding wire, and bypasses external noise, etc., so connector of both

side should be connected with shielding wire, and contact with high voltage and high current should not

be allowed.

◎ Period: High-speed link executes the communication at the end of PLC program according to

parameter set by the user. So if scan time of PLC program is short less than ms,

communication module executes the communication according to program scan.

Because of this, communication increases and reduces the efficiency of the

communication system. To prevent this, the user can set the Tx/Rx period and the range

is 20ms (Rnet V1.0) ~ 10s. Tx/Rx period means the Tx period in case relevant block is

set as Tx and means the period that check the data reception in case relevant block is

set as RX.

6.2 Remote Connection Service

6.2.1 General

This function enables remote control of program preparation, download of user program, program debugging, and monitor in network system that PLCs are connected, without moving physical connection of GMWIN/KGLWIN. Especially, user can access each device at one location without moving location when devices connected in network are apart distantly. GMWIN/KGLWIN communication service generates following path to accomplish the goal.

[Figure 6.6.1] Ex. of remote connection network

In Fig. 6.6.1, let us suppose a network that RS-232C cable is connected to G3L-RREA module and

PLC A is master, PLC C is using the Rnet remote I/F module. They are connected each other.

To access PLC A, choose communication module station number of PLC A (other station number to

6.3 Slave Dedicated Function Block Service

Rnet slave module is a remote I/O control device which has a communication function and I/O

control function of PLC CPU. Rnet slave module doesn’t have a program execution function but can

control remote I/O of CPU through communication. So it supports the high-speed link service,

function block service and remote connection service. This chapter describes how to control the

slave by function block service.

6.3.1 Slave special module function block

Slave can equip the following special module, D/A conversion module, A/D conversion module,

RTD module, High-speed counter module and equip-able module type is 8. For more detail, refer to

the Chapter 8 table [8.1.2]. Slave special module function block controls the special module

equipped at the slave. NET_NO, ST_NO is added at the previous function block input and ERR,

NDR is added at the previous function block output. [Figure 6.3.1(A)] is an example of A/D

conversion module function block and describes the difference between original function block and

function block for slave module.

[Figure 6.3.1(A)] AD function block example

6-30

Chapter 6. Communication Function

CPU special module function block is used to initialize the special module equipped at the CPU

base and slave special module function block is used to initialize the special module equipped at

the slave. The newly added I/O is used for communication with slave. [Table 6.3.1(A)] describes the

newly added I/O and commonly used I/O.

6.3.2 How to use special module function block

1) Setting the mother station

The slave can’t have a user program. It is remote I/O device that uses the PLC CPU’s user

program and communication function. Before system configuration, set the mother station of the

slave. Mother station no. can be done by using the inner decimal switch of slave module. Mother

station acts as a master when executing the high-speed link and slave special module access FB

service.

[Table 6.3.2] indicates whether slave service operates or not according to PLC mode of mother

station. Since slave operates according to mode of mother station like the follow table, in case

other station except mother station accesses the slave special module, it may cause error.

Special module should be accessed by mother station.

[Table 6.3.2] Slave operation according the mother PLC mode

CPU MODE

RUN ○ ○ ○

STOP ○ X ○

PAUSE ○ ○ ○

DEBUG ○ ○ ○

High-speed link operates according to ‘Link Enable’ of mother station.

2) Program

Special module control through slave uses communication function between master and slave.

So the user should consider the reliability of communication when programming.

Here describes how to control the special module of remote I/O by using _NETx_LIV[n],

_NETx_RST[n] in the [Figure 6.4.1(A)] remote system.

Special module control of remote I/O has the following difference with that equipped at the CPU.

1) Since initialization FB is executed by communication, initialization may not be done because of

communication error, it is necessary to execute the initializataion continuously until completion

of initialization.

2) In case of power recovery from power cut, initialization is needed again. So program that

monitors the power is necessary against this.

3) FB that reads/writes the data from/to special module is executed at the rising edge of Request

input. So rising edge input is necessary.

4) Since commucation may have error due to power-cut of remote station or cable cut, if the user

uses the flag that monitors the other station’s operation, the program can be executed efficiently.

[Figure 6.4.1(A)] describes the program that initializes the T/C, D/A module in the remote system.

Special module initialization should be completed in order to execute the READ/WRITE command.

For that, NDR output B contact point is used as Request input and initialization is repeated every

200ms until completion of initialization.

6-39

Chapter 6. Communication Function

Initializaion is not executed after completion of initialization due to NDR output B contact point.

Initialization can be executed when FMM of no.0 slot and remote 2 station is under normal operation

by using the _NET0_LIV[2] flag. _NET0_LIV[2] flag can be used as Request input at the F/B after

completion of initialization and make program efficient.

[Figure 6.4.1(B)] is a program example that initializes the special module again in case of power

recovery this program should be used with program of [Figure 6.4.1(A)]

_NET0_RST[2] and _NET0_LIV[2] is used to monitor when other station recovers from power-cut and at this

time, each NDR output of F/B is reset and initialization program is executed again in [Figure 6.4.1(B)].

Since _NET_RST[2] flag keeps its value until ther user’s reset command, _NET_RST[2] flag should be reset

so that initialization is executed once and it is used for the next power recovery.

2) LED indication description

(1) RUN: indicate that communication with PLC CPU is normal.

- On: interface with PLC is normal.

- Off: interface error or interface stop. Since flicker period changes according to PLC scan, when PLC scan is long (more than

200ms) or PLC has more than two communication module and exchange a lot of data, LED is on every 1, 2 second, so the user may consider that LED is off. But this is because data calculation is getting slow because of many data and this is not abnormal operation of communication module.

(2) LAS: The LED of station that distribute the Token to communicate is on.

The station that is turned on firstly among many stations has LAD, only on station can

have LAS in the one network.

- On: operates as link Active Scheduler (LAS)

- Off: operates as master (LM)

(3) TOKEN: indicates that it has Token from LAS and is sending its data. In case there are many

stations in the network and data per station, it flickers slowly.

- On: indicates that it has Token

- Off: indicates that it doesn’t have Token.

(4) TX/RX: indicates that it is sending/receiving the data.

- On: indicates that it is sending/receiving the data.

- Off: There is no Frame.

(5) FAULT (ERR): indicates the error of communication module. It is off during normal operation. It

flickers every 1 second when communication can’t start because of error and 5 LEDs (LES 0(RUN)~LED4(FAULT)) indicates the type of error.

(6) LINK-I/F: as an interface LED, it flickers when Rnet module communicates with PLC CPU.

When HS link is RUN and it is normal operation, it looks like always on. When HS link is disabled, it flickers every 2 second. This is because PLC CPU communicates with LINK every 2 second.

☞ If it flickers intermittently, it has the problem. Check the communication module, communication

cable, terminal resistance, connection status, duplicated station no.

① Is terminal resistance connected normally? ② Is cable connected firmly? ③ Is shield-wire is connected properly? ④ Is cable and terminal resistance specification proper? ⑤ Is total length of cable less than 750m? ⑥ Is there any duplicated station no.?

Chapter 8. Installation and Testing Operation

8.1.3 Rnet I/F module installation sequence

1) Install the basic configuration for system configuration and select the suitable communication

module.

2) Equip the Rnet I/F module with power not supplied.

3) Check if there is an alen substance in the base connector and connector pin is normal.

4) The Rnet can be equipped at the extention base and only basic base is available.

5) In theGM2-CPUB, GM3, K1000S, Rnet can be equipped with other communication dmoule.

But communicatin module can be mounted up to 8 or less in the GM2-CPUB, GM3/K1000S

(including Enet/Dnet, except Cnet)

6) When mounting this module, insert projecting part of lower part into groove of base board exactly and press it until upper part is locked with locking device of base board, before connecting communication cable. If locking device is not locked completely, error of interface with CPU may be occurred.

7) Sets station number and operation mode using switch on the front part of communication

module with power not supplied. There should be no duplicated station number in the same

network.

8) Connect communication cable after mounting electric module, and install terminal resistance at

CON1 or CON2 if this module is terminal (110Ω).

9) Electric module cable should be connected tightly using screw of cable connector. If mounted station is not terminal, both side of cable can be connected any of CON1 and CON2.

10) Turn the power on after connecting communication cable, check whether this module operates normally through LED operation status. If it is normal, download corresponding program to GMWIN/KGLWIN and execute the program.

8.1.4 Cautions on installation of Rnet I/F module

1) All other station including this station should have different station number. If duplicated number

is used in connection, communication error occurs and normal communication is not possible.

2) If module is operated with normal communication, mode switch should be in Run mode. If mode

switch of this module is set to test1 and turn the power on when other stations that are

connected in network are already in communication, serious error may be occurred in

communication of other stations.

3) For communication cable, cable of specified specification should be used. Using not specified

cable may cause serious communication error.

4) Check whether communication cable has disconnection or short, before installation.

5) Tighten communication cable connector to fix the cable connection. If cable connection is not

perfect, serious error can be occurred.

8-3

Chapter 8. Installation and Testing Operation

6) If communication cable is twisted as the following figure or not connected well, problem can be

occurred in communication.

7) Branch of cable is not allowed.

8) Connection of network through communication cable should not be a closed circuit.

9) When connecting the communication cable with long distance, keep the distance from power

line or inductive noise.

10) Shield-wire should be connected with body of 9 pin connector (Refer to the 4.4.1)

11) If LED operation is abnormal, see ‘chap. 9 Troubleshooting’ of this manual to check the cause

of the error. If the error occurs continuously after management, contact our A/S center.
