Frequently asked questions
The available communication services include messaging, implicit database access, and implicit I/O management. These services are used for various purposes such as data exchange, application synchronization, and remote I/O monitoring.
Schneider PLCs support various communication networks and buses, including Ethernet, Modbus Plus, Fipway, Uni-Telway, Modbus/JBus, character mode serial link, CANopen, Interbus, Profibus, and AS-i.
The Global Data service uses a publication/subscription method for data exchange. Communication modules are grouped into a Distribution group, and each module publishes a local application variable for the other modules in the group. Modules can also subscribe to variables published by other modules in the same distribution group.
