Types of communication
The communication function allows the exchange of data between all devices connected by a bus or network.
This function applies: l l to the specific communication modules shown on rack, to the processors through the terminal point or cards PCMCIA.
The different communication functions available are: l l l l l l l l l l l the terminal port function the extension link function to TSX Nano for PLC TSX Micro the character mode function the Uni-telway function the Modbus/Jbus function the Modem function the Modbus Plus function the FIPIO function(manager and agent) the FIPWAY function the ETHERNET (TCP/IP) function the Bridge function

Action
Determine all the necessary hardware and software components : terminal equipment, branch cables, connection fittings, main cables, wiring testing systems, development systems for process control applications, installation operation systems (adjustment, diagnostics, maintenance).
Assemble and test the wiring system (cables and connection fittings).
Connect the terminal fittings and configure their communication channels.
Test the accessibility of each channel at all architecture points by using PL7 in local mode and in connected mode on both the TSX 57 or TSX 37 present (use of the "transparency" function). This is applicable to PL7-2 or PL7-3 if the TSX
17 or the TSX model 40 is present in the configuration).
Program the PLC applications in the same way as their communication functions.
