1-1-2 Gateway Unit Features
1-1-2 Gateway Unit Features 1
A Gateway Unit can be used to take advantage of CompoNet features to simplify wiring.
z A Selection of Communications Cables
The following communications cables can be used with CompoNet systems: Round Cable I (2-conductor), Round Cable II (4-conductor), Flat Cable I (standard), and Flat Cable II (sheathed).
Note: Refer to the CompoNet Slave Unit and Repeater Unit Operation Manual (Cat. No. W457) for details on cable types.
z Multinode Connections
CompoNet systems can be used for multinode, high-density remote I/O communications.
Maximum I/O capacity: 2,560 points
Maximum nodes: 384 nodes per Gateway Unit
Up to 6,144 CompoNet Slave Units can be connected to a CC-Link Master Unit. (Communications mode 4 must be set.)
z Bit-level Distribution
CompoNet Slave Units with industry-standard e-CON connectors, clamping terminal blocks, or small connectors can be used to distribute I/O at the bit level. This enables distributed control in distributed devices, such as sensors and other devices located over a wide area on conveyors or in ware- houses.
z Easy Installation and Setup
CompoNet systems can be easily installed and set up.
• Seven-segment Display
The number of connected CompoNet Slave Units is shown on the seven-segment display.
This enables easily checking system operation.
• Participation Flags and Communications Error Flags
The network participation status of CompoNet Slave Units can be checked at the PLC.
When a CompoNet Slave Unit joins the network, a Participation Flag that corresponds to the node address of the Unit turns ON. If a CompoNet Slave Unit that was participating in the network is disconnected from the network, a Communications Error Flag that corresponds to the node address of the Unit turns ON. (Communications mode 0 to 3 must be set.)
• Automatic Baud Rate Detection
The CompoNet Slave Units will automatically detect and use the baud rate that is set in the Gate- way Unit. Setting the baud rate is not necessary for any of the CompoNet Slave Units.
z Repeater Units for Greater Flexibility
Repeater Units can be used in a CompoNet network to enable the following network expansions.
• Extending the cable length
• Increasing the number of nodes
• Branching from the trunk line
• Changing the type of cable
Repeater Units can be used to extend up to two segment layers (called sub-trunk lines) from the trunk line. Up to 64 Repeater Units can be connected per Gateway Unit and up to 32 Repeater Units can be connected per segment.
Note: Supply communications power to a sub-trunk line from the Repeater Unit.
Refer to the CompoNet Slave Unit and Repeater Unit Operation Manual (Cat. No. W457) for detailed wir- ing methods.
1-1 Overview
1
z Easy Maintenance with Complete System Monitoring Functions
The CompoNet Network is constantly monitored to enable confirming system safety by quickly iden- tifying errors and checking communications status.
• Gateway Unit Detection of Network Participation, Errors, and Status
When a CompoNet Slave Unit joins the network, a Participation Flag that corresponds to the node address of the Unit turns ON. If a CompoNet Slave Unit that was participating in the network is disconnected from the network, a Communications Error Flag that corresponds to the node address of the Unit turns ON.
Network status, such as communications errors and duplicated Slave Unit node addresses, and Slave Unit diagnostic results are detected by the Gateway Unit and displayed on the seven-seg- ment display on the front panel and reflected in the Status Flags. (Communications mode 0 to 3 must be set.)
• Registration Table
A table of the Slave Units that should be participating at the nodes (including the node addresses and corresponding Slave Unit model numbers) can be registered to verify the Slave Units actually participating in the network and prevent unregistered Slave Units from participating in the net- work.
• Communications Status on Gateway Unit Seven-segment Display
The seven-segment display on the front of the Gateway Unit can be used to check communica- tions status. The number of connected nodes is normally displayed, but if an error occurs, the error code is displayed in hexadecimal and the error node address is displayed in decimal.
