A CONNECTING A MANUAL PULSE
GENERATOR FOR 16i/18i/21i-A/B, AND
Power Mate i
When connecting a manual pulse generator to I/O Link, use a module
that can be connected to the manual pulse generator (connector panel
I/O module, operator's panel I/O module, machine operator's panel,
etc.).
The number of manual pulse generators that can be connected
depends on the module name and module-specific ID used in
allocation.

For instance, up to three manual pulse generators can be connected to
a single connector panel I/O module. However, with the allocation
name CM13I (allocation name for connecting a single manual pulse
generator) used in the example shown above, just one manual pulse
generator can be connected. In addition, a single manual pulse
generator can be connected to the handy machine operator's panel.
(For details of allocation, refer to Section 3, "Assigning Addresses" in
" FANUC PMC Ladder Language Programming Manual" (B-
61863E).)
Accordingly, in the example using three connector panel I/O modules
and one handy machine operator's panel, as shown above, four manual
pulse generators can be connected in total. However, up to three
manual pulse generators can be used actually.
In such cases, the modules to which manual pulse generators are
connected can be selectively enabled by two methods, which can be
selected by a parameter.
1. Conventional method
This method has been adopted by the Series 16i/18i/21i and
Power Mate i-D/H.
On the I/O Link line, the manual pulse generators are
automatically allocated to the modules to which manual pulse
generators can be connected, in ascending order of group
number.
