When the Delete operation is executed, the CP-217 Transmission Definitions data settings for all 3 cir-
cuits will be deleted.
3.5.9 218IF Transmission Definitions
This section explains how to set the parameters for the 218IF Transmission System.
„ Outline of 218IF Transmissions
The 218IF Module is used to connect the MP920 to 218IF related devices. The 218IF Mod-
ule is equipped with one AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) communications port and
10Base5, 10Base2, or 10BaseT circuits can be connected by an external transceiver.
The 218IF Transmission System can connect to a standard Ethernet system, so other com-
pany's controllers and computers can be connected easily. The CP-717 can be connected to
perform MP920 engineering.
To define 218IF transmissions, the required data settings must be made (or referenced) in 2
tab pages: The Transmission Parameters Tab and the Status Tab.
Mounting a 218IF Module enables the Machine Controller to send and receive data through
an Ethernet transmission line. Only message transmissions are possible in the 218IF Trans-
mission System. Program the MSG-SND and MSG-RCV functions in drawing or function
programs for 218IF transmissions.
Sending
(Send Delay Setting) When Enable is selected, a delay until the beginning of transmis-
sions (1 to 100 ms) can be set.
• Master Station:
The delay will be included between execution of the MSG-SND
function and the transmission of the command.
• Slave Station:
The delay will be included between reception of a command by
the MSG-RCV function and the transmission of the response.
See the Machine Controller's User's Manual for details on each
parameter's settings.
Slave I/F Register
Settings (Automatic
Response) See 3.5.6 General-purpose Serial Communications Definitions for
