1.3. 2 Forms of fieldbus functions of Hi5 controller

The Hi5 controller supports fieldbus functions in 2 forms, as described in [Table 1-1] below.

Table 1‑1 2 types and characteristics of fieldbus functions in the Hi5 controller

Item	BD57x CC-Link board BD58A LDIO board (for Hi5-C)	BD52x Multi communication board
Mounted module	-	COM module of Hilscher
Number of modules which can be mounted	1	1 or 2
Support function	Slave	Both master and slave can be supported at the same time
Support protocol	CC-Link	DeviceNet Profibus-DP Interbus (expected to be supported in the future)
Connection with the main board	CAN	Bus of BD500 motherboard
Utilization of Fieldbus input in robot language	Input from X area of FB5 object Example: WAIT FB5.X5	Input from X area of FB1, FB3 object Example: WAIT FB1.X5
Utilization of Fieldbus output in robot language	Output to Y of FB5 object Example: FB5.Y12=1	Output to Y of FB1, FB3 object Y Example: FB3.Y12=1
Utilization of Fieldbus input in embedded PLC	Input from X of FB5 object	Input from X of FB1, FB3 object
Utilization of Fieldbus output in embedded PLC	Output to Y of FB5 object	Output to Y of FB1, FB3 object

This manual only explains the Fieldbus functions that use a BD52x multi communication board.
