In the one-to-one trans- mission mode, a single PC is linked to the host computer. In the one-to-N transmission mode, from two to 16 EX100 units can be linked to the host computer, using the computer link function. In either mode, each computer link is linked to the host computer through an RS-485 interface. With this system the maximum transmission distance is 1 km (3,280 ft). If the host computer uses an RS-232C interface, it is neces- sary to adapt it to a RS-485 connector by using Toshiba's RS- 485/RS-232C conversion adapter (ADP-62378). “IBM PC, PGIKT, PCIAT are registred trademarks of International Business Machines Corp. —— COMPUTER LINK MODULE 5Overview Front panel Communicationswitch Station number selector DIP switches S-485 Terminal block 6 extooOverview Switch settings Communication switch progr ‘Selects the device you'll use to communicate with the EX100 e programmable controller.

This utilizes the built-in terminal resistor. @ If the host computer does not have a built-in terminal resis- tor, connect an external }-watt, 120-Q resistor between the computer's RXA and RXB terminals. @ Connect one end of the shielding wire of the shielded twisted-pair cable to the ground terminal (GND).

(The combined terminal resistance must be 3-watt, 2202.) ® Connect the cable shield to frame ground at one end only. Use the GND terminal for the ground connection on the EX100 side. Install a terminal block to branch off to the host computer or computer link. The branch should not exceed 3m (10 tt) cable length from the terminal block to the computer or module.

When a request is generated, each computer link mod- ule checks the station number of the request. The module with the matching station number processes the request while the other link modules continue to stand by. This is why each com- puter link must have a unique station number. Otherwise more than one link may attempt to process the request, resulting in faulty data. The following diagram illustrates the processing sequence exe- cuted when a request to station 2 is issued: Host computer - —— Response (reception) == Request (sending) ¥ Computer ak + Computer ak 3 Processing sequence executed when a request to station 2 is issued by the host computer: © Request is sent from host computer to computer links (re- quest to station 2). @ Request is executed by station with same number as re- quest (only station 2 executes request). @ Processing result is returned as response to host computer (response from station 2).

The EX100 will not transmit any data without a request. (2) All space codes (H20) are ignored. I¥ space codes (H20) are included in the data received from the host computer, they are ignored.

All transmission/reception data Consists of 8-bit ASCII code. (6) Data received before the “(” (open parenthesis mark) code is ignored. The EX100 ignores all the data received before “(" (28). Ignored (7) “)" CR terminates reception. Reception is considered to be terminated only after “)” (closed parenthesis mark) and CR have been received. If a “)" without a CR (carriage return), or vice versa, is re- ceived, it is considered to be a transmission error. NOTE In this manual, data enclosed within“ " (quotation VAV marks) indicates data for 8-bit ASCII code. Creation of Checksum is the ASCII code of the lowest-order byte of the checksum sum obtained by adding the data from the transmission-begin code “(” to the checksum-delimiter code “&”.

An error will occur if you attempt to begin with any other block. However, if an error occurs while a block other than 000 is being read, try reading that block again. If that doesn't work, go back to the starting block and restart program block read from the beginning, After program block read is begun, do not execute another command before the end block is read, otherwise program block read will be aborted. If it aborts, it is necessary to start the operation again at block 000.

NOTE The format for the BW command is the same as that V/A used for the EX status read (ST) command, Program block-write must be started in block 000, with the blocks written in order, or an error will occur. However, if an error occurs while a block other than 000 is being written, try writing that block again. If that doesn’t work, go back to the starting block and restart program block-write from the beginning,Control codes Alter program block-write is started, do not execute another command before the ending block is written because it will cause program block-write to abort. If it does abort, it is nec- essary to start the operation again at block 000. To write the register contents along with program data, exe- cute the device/register-write command immediately after com- pletion of program block-write. Execution example The following execution example is provided to demonstrate use of the “BW” code. The following data are input to com- puter link Test 0 (described in Appendix A).
