load (load by Link I/F) transmitted by CPU module to RAPIEnet. In case the guarantee amount of load by media
interrupt and TX load is exceeded, data communication, system monitoring and remote connection may be
abnormal.
(1) Communication load by media interrupt
▶ Load by the frame coming from the media
▶ Determines the amount of load according to packet per second
▶ Max load of RAPIEnet module by media interrupt: about 3600 packet/sec
▶ How to check: XG-PD → online → system diagnosis → media information → Broadcast (RX) monitoring
▶ When the maximum amount f load is exceeded, RAPIEnet operates abnormally:
Abnormal communication, diagnosis unavailable, remote connection unavailable and etc.
▶ Though RX block is not set in High Speed link parameter; media interrupt can occur and affect the load.
▶ Measure in case of exceeding the maximum amount f load: increase the communication period. Ex) 20ms
100ms

fixed type and variable type according to the setting of basic parameter.
(b) Allocation of I/O number (Fixed type)
1) Each slot of base is allocated by 64 points regardless module installation and type.
2) For one base, I/O no. of 16 slots is allocated. That is, the start no. of No.1 base becomes P0640.
3) The example of I/O no. of 12 slot base is as below.
(c) Allocation of I/O no. (Variable type)
1) If assigned installation module by I/O parameter, the assigned point is allocated.
2) The slot not assigned by I/O parameter shall be allocated automatically according to actual installatio slot.
3) The slot not assigned by I/O parameter shall be allocated automatically according to actual installation slot
(8 point module shall be allocated by 16 point.)
4) IThe empty slot not assigned by I/O parameter shall be processed by 16 point.
5)Available to assign the point only by I/O parameter without module assignment.
6) The slot installed by special module or communication module is allocated by 16 point.

2) Max. configuration of basic system (point variable)
I/O number is constantly allocated to 64 points per slot of the base.
Each slot of the base is allocated with 64 points, irrespectively of module mounted or its type.
The position on which a special module is mounted or the number is not limited.
Unlike digital I/O module, a special module is not allocated for any constant I/O number.
A special module is controlled by the exclusive function block and automatically allocated for
the memory.
For instance, the I/O number of 12 slot base is allocated as follows.
Remark
1) The basis base has its base number as „0‟ and the extension base has a switch to set the base number.
2) Operation starts as long as the module type set as I/O parameter and the actually mounted module type coincide.
1) Since the structure of 10/100BASE-TX cable is vulnerable to external noise, the cable needs
to be stranded as twisted (two lines twisted with each other) between cables of the pin No.1
and 2 of TD+ and TD- and between cables of the pin No.3 and 6 of RD+ and RD- so to be
strong against noise
2) Contact professional manufacturers for processing cable terminal, manufacture and installation.

(h) When UTP cable is installed, a suitable distance shall be maintained between EMI source and UTP cable.
The suitable distance for each case is as specified in the table below;
3-17
Remark
1) Since the optical cable is vulnerable to impact, pressure, folding and pulling, pay good attention to its treatment.
The optical contact between the connector and the end of the cable may have communication errors if
contaminated, which may result in unavailable communication.
If the cable is installed outdoors, additional countermeasures are required to protect the cable suitably for the
installation environment.

Chapter 5. Communication Parameters
Chapter 5 Communication Parameters
The communication parameters can be classified into high speed link setting parameters and P2P setting parameters.
5.1.1 High-speed link setting parameters
The high speed link is a communication method between the XGT PLC communication modules, which is used exchange
data or information at preset period. It is very useful for the systems which are operated by periodically referring the data of self
or correspondent station. The communication can be set up by simply setting necessary parameters.
To set up the parameters, define the internal area and the area of the correspondent station, size and rate of data, and station
number in the high speed link parameters.
The minimum data size is 1 word (16 points) and the maximum size is 200 words. Communication period can be set from
5ms to 1 second according to the contents of the communication. Communication can be implemented simply by setting
parameters. Large volume of data can be exchanged periodically due to high speed internal data process.
The following table is HS link setting specification.

Chapter 5. Communication Parameters
5.1.2 P2P Setting Parameters
While high speed link is a periodical communication, the P2P communication is a services used to communicate with
correspondent station when specific events occur. P2P can be used to transmit error information of a certain station to
correspondent station, or for the communications requested by specific contact point input. While the data size used in the
high speed link is word (16 points) unit, P2P communication can carry out communication with correspondent station
according to the data types such as bit, byte, or word.
(1) P2P service
(a) This service makes the RAPIEnet I/F Nodule act as a client on the network.
(b) At occurrence of predefined events, read from or write in the memory of the correspondent station.
(c) This service is used for the communication with other vendors‟ devices which do not support XGT or mode bus protocol,
or transmission/reception of the desired frame.
(d) Maximum 64 independent P2P blocks can be defined in each module.
The table below presents the specification for setting up P2P parameters.

5.4 How to set the parameter according to service
5.4.1 High-speed link service
HS link as a communication method between XGT PLC communication modules is used to exchange data or
information with correspondent station periodically for a specific time, through which the changed data of self station or
the correspondent station can be referred to for each other periodically for efficient application to the operation system and
execution of communication only with simple parameters setting.
Parameters can be specified by setting Tx/Rx correspondent station area and self station area as well as data size,
speed and station No. on XG-PD‟s HS link parameters in order to execute communication.
Data size is available from the min. 1 word (16 points) up to 200 words for the communication, communication cycle from
the min. 20 ms up to 10 sec. based on the communication details. It is easy to use since communication with
correspondent station is available only through simple parameters setting. And it is also useful for periodic process of lots
of data at a time thanks to high processing speed of the internal data.
(1) Communication module configuration
In order to use the high speed link, set up communication module and high speed link using the XG-PD, and download
the setting to the CPU.
Chapter 5. Communication Parameters
(a) Module type: PLC2PLC(RAPIEnet)
(b) Base No./slot: position of installation of the communication module
(c) Communication period setting
- Transmission period can be set from 5㎳ to 1s, improving the overall efficiency of communication.
(d) Emergency output data setting
- CPU error: at CPU error, check whether the transmission data information clear is set up or not
- CPU stop: at CPU switching to stop, check whether the transmission data information clear is set up or not
5-24
Chapter 5. Communication Parameters
(2) Block setting
(a) Mode: transmission/reception
(b) Station No.: set up correspondent station No. for receiving only
(c) Block No.
This parameter is for communicating large volume of data in multiple areas of a station, by classifying the data in
multiple blocks. The station No. and the clock No. set up at the transmission station are transmitted with the data, and at
the receiver station, data is stored in the storage area when the station and block numbers are same as those set up in
the high speed link parameters. Therefore, the block numbers have to be set at both transmission and reception station
together with the station number. The block numbers cat be set as many as 64 from „0‟ to „63‟ for each station.
Do not allocate multiple block numbers under the same station number.
200 words can be set to one block. The maximum link points are 12,800 words.
The serial No. representing the order of registration, from „0‟ to „127,‟ not in relation with the order of communication.
(d) Read area: enabled when the block type is transmission. This is the area setting of the device for transmission
(e) Storage area: enabled when the block type is reception. This is the area setting of the device for reception.
(f) Data size (word): can be set by 1 ~200. If the data size set up in the reception mode is smaller than that of the data
received, the excess data is not stored. Therefore, only necessary volume of data can be received selectively from the
transmitter station for use.

Chapter 6 High-speed Link
Chapter 6 High-speed Link
High-speed link (HS Link) is a communication method between XGT PLC communication modules to send and receive data
with HS link parameters setting, which can also allow the user to use XG-PD to exchange data with parameters setting of Tx/Rx
data size, Tx/Rx period, Tx/Rx area and area to save through its data transmission service function.
However, since HS link service uses the subnet broad service, it may have an influence on other communication modules which
use the identical network. Thus, setting as near to the max. Tx/Rx size (200 words) as available per HS link block is
recommended for the user to obtain the greatest communication efficiency with the lowest influence on other modules so to
reduce the sum of blocks.
HS link functions are as specified below;
(1) HS link block setting function
(a) If there are many Tx/Rx areas, up to 96 blocks can be set (32 for Tx and 64 for Rx respectively).
(b) 200 words are available for a block.
(c) Max. link points available are 19,200 words.
(2) Tx/Rx period setting function
Tx/Rx period can be set per block by user for the areas where especially fast Tx/Rx is required and not required
respectively in a Tx/Rx period of 20ms to 10 sec.
(3) Tx/Rx area setting function
Tx/Rx area can be set per data block by user according to I/O address specified.
(4) Providing function of HS link information
Reliable communication system can be easily configured by providing HS link information for user via the user keyword.

HS link application will be described below with the example where FDEnet I/F modules of the stations No.0 and No.1 are to
send and receive the data between each other.
Its setting sequence is as follows;
(a) The station No.0 transmits M0000 data of 10 words to No.0 block.
(b) The data received by the station No.1 is saved on M0010.
(c) The station No.1 receives M0000 data of 10 words from the station No.0 to save on M0100.
(d) M0110 data of 10 words is transmitted to No.1 block.
There are 64 blocks for Tx data and 128 blocks for Rx data in the HS link parameters. The block number can be set 0~63 for
transmission or receiving. The Tx side needs only to decide which data to read and which block to send to without setting the
correspondent station No. when transmitting the data

6.5.1 High-speed link flag
With HS link service used to exchange data between communication modules of two or more stations, it provides a checking
method of HS link service status for the user through HS link information so to confirm reliability of the data read from the
correspondent station via the HS link. In other words, the communication module synthesizes the data received up to that time at
intervals of a specific time and lets the user know if HS link operates as in parameters specified by the user through HS link
information where the whole information of Run-link(_HSxRLINK) and Link-trouble(_HSxLTRBL) to provide the whole information
of the communication network, and the individual information of _HSxSTATE, _HSxTRX, _HSxMOD and _HSxERR to provide
communication status for 64 register items in the parameters are contained. The user can use the information in keyword format
when programming, and also monitor the HS link status using the monitor function of the HS link information. Prior to its
application, the user is requested to check the reliability of the Tx/Rx data through HS link information of Run-link and Link-trouble
when operating several PLCs with HS link used. [Table 6.5.1] below shows functions and definition of the HS link information.

the user program. If the correspondent station PLC is normal, it will be Off, and if abnormal, it will be On.
(6) HS link status ( _HSxSTATE[0..127], x= HS link no. (1~12) )
As individual information it shows the operation status of HS link parameters on the register list up to 127 registered items‟
HS link status just like the max. register number, which synthesizes the information of the individual items to display the
general information of the registered items. In other words, if the applicable list‟s Tx/Rx status is normal with the operation
mode of Run and with no error, it will be On, and if the conditions above are violated, it will be Off.
