Fipio Agent: General
At a Glance
Micro or Premium PLCs, equipped with a TSX FPP 10 PCMCIA card on their built-in communication channel act as agents on the Fipio bus.
The Fipio Agent function can be used for two types of data exchange:
periodic exchanges of information with the manager (of shared variable type), aperiodic message exchanges with the manager or with other agents.
NOTE: This function is available with version V1.9 or later of the TSX FPP 10 card.
NOTE: The periodic cycle time of Fipio agents must be at least 5ms but the value depends on the configuration.

Fipio Agent
Periodic Data Exchange
At a Glance
Each Fipio Agent PLC uses 64 consecutive %MW words to exchange periodic data.
The first 32 words are reserved for sending the information to the manager.
The next 32 words are reserved for receiving information.
NOTE: The %MW status words and the %MW command words are not significant.
View of Exchanges
The following diagram shows the exchanges between a Fipio Agent and a Premium manager.

Fipio Agent
Special Cases
At a Glance
A Premium PLC declared as a Fipio Agent can communicate with a TSX 47-107 or APRIL 5000 manager.
When used in this way, the Fipio Agent is declared on the bus as a standard profile at the connection point.
The standard profile to be declared is as follows:
Device family: STD_P.
Base: FED M32.
Communicator: TSX FPP 10.
Exchanges with a TSX 47-107
The following diagram shows the exchanges between a Fipio Agent and a TSX 47-107 manager.

Communication from a Fipio Agent
At a Glance
A PLC declared as a Fipio Agent can communicate:
with the bus manager server, with the server of another Fipio Agent.
Address Settings
The syntax of an address is as follows:
ADDR('\2.4\SYS')
The following table describes the address parameters:
Parameter
2.4
SYS
Description
2 : corresponds to the Fipio bus number
4 : corresponds to the destination connection point
Corresponds to the server address.

How to Fipio Agent Parameters Using PCMCIA Cards
At a Glance
The creation of a project implementing Fipio Agents requires you to configure the communication channel of the PLC declared as a Fipio Agent.
This part describes how to access the configuration parameters of the Fipio Agent link using the
TSX FPP 10 PCMCIA card for Micro/Premium PLCs.
How to Declare the Fipio PCMCIA Card
The following table shows the procedure for physically declaring the Fipio PCMCIA card on the
PLC:
Step
1
2
Action
Open the hardware configuration editor.
Double-click the PCMCIA communication card slot (bottom slot).
Result: The card type selection window appears
3 Expand the Communication line by clicking on the + sign.
