Chapter 16 Network Configuration and Data Exchange
Before the users print the data related to a PLC Link or an Ether Link, they have to export the data
as a CSV file. After the CSV file is opened in Microsoft Excel, they can print the data in the CSV file.
16.5.2 Downloading Parameters
In the working area in NWCONFIG, users can download the routing tables produced to PLCs, the
parameters
related to the PLC Links constructed, the parameters related to the Ether Links
constructed to the nodes.
16.5.2.1 Introduction of Parameters
• Routing table
The routing data stored in a PLC is data related to the PLC itself, and therefore the routing tables
downloaded to nodes are different. Users have to download the routing tables produced to nodes
in the working area.
• Parameters related to a PLC Link
The parameters related to a PLC Link can only be downloaded to the PLC designated as a
master station. If the parameters related to a PLC Link are downloaded to a slave station, the
related special relays and the related special registers in the slave station will be restored to the
default setting. There is only one master station in a network. If users are not sure whether a
device was designated as a master station, and whether the parameters related to a PLC Link
was downloaded to the device, they have to download the parameters related to a PLC Link to
the device.
• Parameters related to an Ether Link
The parameters
related to an Ether Link must be downloaded to the data demanding nodes.
However, the data exchange table stored in a PLC is a table related to the PLC itself. Besides, if
the parameters set include a node which does not demand any data, the data in the node will be
cleared after the parameter are downloaded to the node, and the start mode of the node will
depend on the parameters after the parameters are downloaded to the node.
