Q: How to Use and Configure CIMON PLC Link protocols via Ethernet?
A: There are three types of CIMON PLC Link protocols which support Peer to Peer communication for CIMON PLCs (CM1 and CM3) via Ethernet.
+ PLC Link (CIMON-Dedicated) Protocol – Max No. is 64 device.
+ PLC Link (Public) Protocol – Max No. is 64 device.
+ High Speed Link Protocol – Max No. is 64 device.
※ CM1-EC10A – Max. supported Node number is 16.
※ CM1-EC01A – Max. supported Node number is 6.
※ CM3-SP01EET – Max. supported Node number is 16.
1. PLC Link (CIMON-Dedicated)
– This protocol only supports EC01A (CM1 Series).
– This protocol can be used only within one identical Network (Local to Expansion).
– Does NOT require to configure IP Address for each of multiple Ethernet modules.
– Can communicate by assigning a station for each of multiple Ethernet modules.
– Go to CICON Parameter on Project Window -> PLC Link -> Configure a Frame (SEND / REC)
2. PLC Link (Public)
– This protocol only supports EC01A, EC10A (CM1 Series).
– Communicates between same or other networks (Local to Local, Local to Expansion).
– Must require both IP Address and Station for each Ethernet module.
– Configure a special program named “PLC Link (Public IP) Setting” as shown below and assign an IP Address for each Ethernet module.
- Go to CICON Parameter -> PLC Link -> Configure a Frame (SEND / RECEIVE) in the same
manner as that of PLC Link (CIMON-Dedicated)
3. High Speed Link (Ethernet)
– Supports CM1 and CM3 Series.
– Supports between PLC-S CPUs (SP01EET included), between EC10As, and between PLC-S and EC10A.
– NOT support EC01A module.
– This protocol can be used only within one identical Network (Local to Expansion).
– Does NOT require to configure IP Address for each of multiple Ethernet modules.
– Needs to configure Local/Expansion, Slot#, and Station in High Speed Link program.
– Configure a special program named “High Speed Link(E)” and set up Ethernet module and Frame in CICON as shown below.
