available slot. In contrast with centralized configuration, the dis-
tributed I/O configuration eliminates this limitation of a central-
ized I/O configuration. With the HSL system, adding more I/O
points only requires one more slave I/O module and an Ether-
net cable for communication link.
Self-diagnostic function
The HSL provides a self-diagnostic function that eliminates
communication failures. This function continuously monitors
the network status while a status register keeps the accumu-
lated slave-no-response count for every individual slave I/O
module. Also, the HSL system features the CRC12 to eliminate
any communication error.
Modular design of slave I/O
ADLINK offers a variety of slave module types Including the
metal-cased M series, non-metal DB series, and U series for
compact systems. The M and DB series require a terminal
board for connection. Terminal boards act as carrier of slave I/
O module with wiring function. The Ethernet port and screw ter-
minal on the terminal boards make it easier to replace I/O mod-
ules without turning and wiring off the system.
Remote motion control compatibility
ADLINK also offers remote motion control solution based on
the HSL network Including the HSL-4XMO-CG-N/P and HSL-
4XMO-CD-N/P that could connect up to four axes. The HSL-
4XMO-CG-N/P features a general-type interface for use with
stepper or linear motors, while the HSL-4XMO-CD-N/P has a
D-sub interface. By using a transfer cable, you can connect to
specific servo amplifier. You can easily make a distributed con-
trol application that includes discrete I/O, analog I/O, and
remote motion control.
Easy to program
Every HSL master card comes with 32 KB SRAM that carries
all the I/O status information of the HSL system. The ASIC on
the HSL master board communicates with all remote slave I/O
