KOYO DirectNet I/O Device

1. Overview
This Manual explains about the method of CIMON-Xpanel communication with KOYO DL06 PLC using RS232C or RS422/485.

2. Communication Setup : XPanel


You can configure I/O device according to various kind of field equipments by using Xpanel Designer. Configure the option of the example followed. More details about I/O device configuration in section I/O device configuration.

(1) Create a new device. To configure the communication device of DL06 PLC, Select [Tools]-[I/O device] in the menu or icon in tool-bar , and then I/O device configuration dialog box will

be shown up. And then click [new device] button. I/O device selection dialog box is shown up, select a device name and a device type as the following figure.

I/O Device Name : DEV In the case there are various kinds of field equipments, Type device name to identify what equipments it is. The string DEV of this item will be shown up in the KOYO DirectNet - 1

selection list of I/O device when you register a tag. Xpanel can communicate with various kinds of equipment simultaneously connected by identifying equipment by its name. The value which is saved as a tag is the compound string of a device name and station name as following DEV.ST (DEV is a device name, and ST is a station name). And it is used as a unique identifier in Xpanel project. z I/O Device Selection: Serial device You can select field equipment and a communication type. Select one according to the communication method of the selected device. Click [OK]

(2) Select a device type : KOYO DirectNet You can select communication device which is connected to Xpanel.

Comm.Port:COM1 Select communication port to communicate. If you use RS-485, you must select COM1. When RS-232 communication type of COM1 port is used, 9P DSUB connector is used. And When RS-422/485 communication type of COM1 port is KOYO DirectNet - 2

used, 5P plug connector is used. If you use COM1 port, you cannot use RS-232 and RS-422/485 together, but you can use only one type. z Baud rate : 9,600 Select the communication speed to equipment. The configuration of the communication speed of Xpanel must be the same as the configuration of equipment. If speed of the configurations of two sides are not same, they will not be communicated each other. z z z z Parity bit : odd Data bits : 8 bits Stop bits : 1 bit RTS/CTS: OFF RTS/CTS control is used for HALF-DUPLEX communication. When you ordinary modem of two-wire circuit, you can control the modem by this implement. Because of RS-485 communication port of the Xpanel supports Auto Toggle function so Xpanel doesnt use this function. This example doesnt use RTS-CTS control.

Comm. Type: RS232 When you use RS-422 communication select RS-422 or you use RS-485 communication then select RS-485. When RS-232 communication is used, 9P DSUB connector is used. And When RS-422/485 communication is used, 5P plug connector is used.

Retry No. :3 If communication failed with the kind of field equipments, it will retry as the number of this.

Comm. Error Message Pop Up If this item is checked, XPanel displays a communication error notification message at every Rx and Tx error. Otherwise(unchecked), XPanel does not display the message at data receive error. Only when there is data transmit (writing a TAG value to the station) error, the notification message is popped up. This message box will be closed automatically about 5 seconds after.

(4) Save all configurations z SAVE/CLOSE If all configurations were ended, click Save button and then Close button in the Serial Communication Configuration Dialog Box. If I/O Devices Configuration Dialog Box was shown up, click Close button. (5) Download Project to Xpanel z Download Project to Xpanel If all configurations were ended connect PC to Xpanel by Tool cable and select [Online]-[Download to XPANEL] in the Menu.
