Rockwell Automation AutoMax R-Net Processor Module - Manual (Page 7)

1Ć1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The products described in this instruction manual are manufactured
by RelianceR Electric Industrial Company.
The AutoMax RĆNet Processor module (M/N 57C429) provides the
means for an AutoMax/DCS 5000 rack to communicate over the
RĆNet industrial network. The RĆNet network allows AutoMateR
Processors, AutoMax/DCS 5000 Processors, and/or other devices
(miniĆcomputers, color graphics terminals, etc.) to communicate with
each other to create a distributed control or centralized
dataĆgathering system. The AutoMax RĆNet Processor can support
up to four AutoMax/DCS 5000 Processors in one rack. RĆNet views
the rack as one node consisting of an AutoMate Processor.
Each AutoMax RĆNet Processor module contains a 16K byte
dualĆport memory for storing the data that is transmitted over the
network. The dualĆport memory contains an image modeled on a
subset of AutoMate registers. Data received from the network is
placed into the AutoMate image area by defining the destination as
an AutoMate address. Data is transmitted from the AutoMate image
area over the network using a subset of AutoMate communications
commands. The dualĆport memory can be accessed by the onĆboard
CPU as well as over the backplane bus by any Processor in the rack
through application programs.
The remainder of this manual describes the functions and
specifications of the AutoMax RĆNet Processor module. It also
includes a detailed overview of installation and servicing procedures,
as well as examples of programming methods.
