2 1-1 PC Link Systems A PC Link System is established to interconnect two or more C-series PCs through PC Link Units to allow data transfer through the LR area of each PC. PC Link Subsystems can be established within the PC Link System, creating different levels of operation. Each PC in the PC Link System automatically exchanges data with all the P[...]

3 A maximum of two PC Link Units can be mounted to the same PC. If two PC Link Units are mounted to one PC anywhere in the System, the System is multilevel, and all Units must be set for a Multilevel System (see 4-2-2 Switch Settings ). In a Multilevel System, operating levels must be set to create PC Link Subsystems. Each Subsystem will have its o[...]

6 2-1 System Configuration PC Link Units are mounted to the PC Racks and connected to each other . Each PC Link Unit contains a buffer through which data is transferred to and from the other PC Link Units connected to it. The C500-LK009-V1 can be used with C500, C1000H, and C2000H PCs, but not with a C200H, C200HS, or C200HX/HG/HE(-Z) PC. The C200H[...]

9 The maximum number of PCs that may be used in a PC Link System is lim- ited by the number of LR words available. This is determined by the number of levels, the specific PCs employed, and the mode settings on the PC Link Units. A PC Link Unit must be assigned a number no greater than one less than the maximum number of allowable PCs to be acknowl[...]

10 2-2 Using Link Adaptors In a PC Link System, Link Adapters are used whenever more than two PC Link Units are connected in any one PC Link Subsystem. They are also used to enable optical links between PC Link Units to provide greater transmission distance and greater noise resistance. When using Link Adaptors, refer to the Link Adaptor Installati[...]

12 3-1 LR Area Data PC Link Systems employ the LR area in the exchange of data. The content of the LR areas in all PCs in the same PC Link Subsystem (or Single-level System) is kept consistent. T o achieve this, the LR area is divided among all of the PCs in the Subsystem according to switch settings, and each PC writes data only to the part of the[...]

13 3-2 LR Area Allocations T o enable data transfer between PCs in an PC Link System, part of the LR area is allocated as the write area for each PC in the System. Which and how many LR words are allocated to each PC are determined by switch settings, which are described in 4-2-2 Switch Settings . This section describes the method for allocating wo[...]

15 In the example below , the C2000H PC would be a transfer PC and could be used to transfer data between the two Subsystems, e.g., to write to LR word12 by the C200H PC in operating level 0 to LR word 32, one of its write words in operating level 1. Any PC in level 1 could then access this data directly from LR word 32 in its own LR area. PC Link [...]

The polling unit polls each PC Link Unit in the[...]

46 6-1 Response T imes The processing that determines and the methods for calculating maximum and minimum response times from input to output are provided in this sub- section. The following System and I/O program steps will be used in all ex- amples below . This System contains eight PC Link Units. Although more precise equations are possible if r[...]

47 The equation for minimum I/O response time is thus as follows: Response time = input ON delay + scan time of PC of Unit 0 + minimum transmission time + scan time of PC of Unit 7 + output ON delay Inserting the following values into this equation produces a minimum I/O re- sponse time of 99 ms. Input ON delay 1.5 ms Output ON delay 15 ms Scan tim[...]

48 The equation for maximum I/O response time is as follows: Response time = input ON delay + (scan time of PC of Unit 0 x 3) + (PC Link polling time x 2 + induction sequence processing time) + (scan time of PC of Unit 7 x 2) + output ON delay Inserting the same values plus the following values into this equation pro- duces a maximum I/O response t[...]

49 PC Link polling time: 30 ms Induction sequence processing time: 120 ms In a Multilevel PC Link System, the time required for the output may be delayed one more scan at both Unit 0 and Unit 7. This is because PC Link servicing is split into two parts in the PC scan, only one of which may be serviced during any one scan depending on the time requi[...]

50 The following diagram illustrates the data flow that will produce the maximum response time. Delays occur because signals or data is received just after they would be processed or because data is sent during processing. In either case, processing must wait until the next scan/polling cycle. First output to the buffer in the polling unit is delay[...]

51 6-2 Reducing Response T ime (C200H, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)) IORF(97) can be used in programming to shorten the I/O response time greater than is possible by setting a high number of refresh bits. (Remember , increasing the number of refresh bits set on the back-panel LED shortens response time, but increases the scan time of the PC.) The follo[...]

59 SECTION 7 Err or Pr ocessing The PC Link Units provide various means of monitoring systems operation and resolving errors when they occur . These include LED indications, PC RUN and Error Flags, and, for C200H, C200HS, and C200HX/HG/HE(-Z) systems, Special I/O Unit Error Flags and Restart Bits. 7-1 SR Area Flags 60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [...]

60 7-1 SR Area Flags PC RUN Flags can be read to determine the operational status of each PC to which a PC Link Unit is mounted. All PCs are operational when their PC RUN Flag is ON. If there is a transfer error or a power failure for any PC Link Unit, the Error Flag for that Unit will turn ON, and an error message will be sent. When the error is r[...]

61 Because the C200H-LK401 is treated as a Special I/O Unit, Special I/O Unit Restart Bits and Error Flags are effective for it. An Error Flag turns ON when the same Special I/O Unit unit number is assigned to more than one Unit or when an error has occurred in the refresh cycle between the PC and the Special I/O Unit with the designated unit numbe[...]

62 7-2 Error Examples Error conditions are indicated by the LEDs as described below . Some errors in switch settings (e.g., setting the same unit number for more than on PC Link Unit) will not result in an error display , but will cause LR area data to be in error .

63 This example will describe error indications on all PC Link Units using the following System configuration. T ransmission line breaks will be described at two different points, A and B. Unit 3 has been set for double allocation, and thus is allocated the LR bits and flags from both Unit 3 and Unit 4. C2000H PC Unit 0, (polling unit) C200H PC Uni[...]

64 Because Unit 0 receives no response from Unit 1 only , it indicates an error for it, and normal conditions for Units 2 and 3. Since Unit 1 receives no poll- ing signal from Unit 0, it indicates an error for Unit 0. Units 2, 3, and 5 receive signals from each other and indicate normal conditions other than an error for Unit 1. LED indications are[...]
