Table 1-9 Basic Parameters
Item Description
IP ADDRESS
Pa10
IP address of the local node.
The host address section (last numeric value) of this
IP address is the node number of the local node.
Only an IP address in class C can be specified.
NODE NAME
Pa17
An arbitrary node name not longer than 10 characters
can be specified.
AREA1 ADDRESS
(Note 1)
Pa11
Start address of common memory area 1 of the local
node. A value from 0 to 511 can be set.
AREA1 SIZE
(Note 1)
Pa12
Data size of common memory area 1 of the local
node. A value from 0 to 512 can be set.
AREA2 ADDRESS
(Note 1)
Pa13
Start address of common memory area 2 of the local
node. A value from 0 to 8191 can be set.
AREA2 SIZE
(Note 1)
Pa14
Data size of common memory area 2 of the local
node. A value from 0 to 8192 can be set.
TOKEN
WATCHDOG TIME
(Note 2)
Pa15
Token monitoring time.
Maximum duration of time for which the local node
can hold the token.
A value from 1 to 255 can be set. (Unit: 1msec)
MINIMUM FRAME
Pa16
Minimum allowable frame time interval.
Set an inter-frame time interval so that the local node
can receive data frames in succession.
A value from 0 to 50 can be specified. (Unit: 100 µsec)
NOTE
1 When the area set for common memory area 1 or 2
overlaps with an area of another node, the node that
participated in the network later must participate in
the network with the start addresses and sizes of
common memory areas 1 and 2 set to 0.
This means that the node participates in the network
without its output area.
2 A token monitoring time is set to reissue a token. If
the local node does not issue a token when the time
specified in this parameter has elapsed, the next
node reissues a token. This means that an
adequate value needs to be set in connection with the
amount of transmit data of the local node. Usually,
set 30 (30 msec).
