Figure1.1 RAPIEnet Communication Board

 

BD525 multi-protocol communication board can support up to three channels of industrial communication at the same time, including RAPIEnet slave as well as Fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet master and slave. When it comes to the Fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet other than RAPIEnet, you need to refer to the function manual about the relevant protocol.

The RAPIEnet slave communication board is mounted on the BD525 board in the form of a piggyback and has a setting switch (using the default settings), four LEDs, and two Ethernet ports.

 

※ For more information) The RAPIEnet slave can only be supported when the BD525 hardware version is V1.3 or higher.

(1)    Setting Switch

 

You can set the station number using the setting switch. However, the basic specification for operation is that the station number needs to be set through a TP. Accordingly, it is needed to set all pins, #1–8, to 0. (Please be informed that you can perform the setting using the same station number that you may use through the setting switch.)

 

Table 1‑1 Setting Switch

			Description	Remarks
PIN No.	Usage	Value
1–8	Station No.	0	Setting of the station number through the shared memory	When a change is made, it will be reflected after the power is reset.
		1–119	Station number
		120 onward	Parameter error
