3 DM Link Communication
3-4
WindO/I-NV4 User’s Manual
3.1 Overview
DM Link Communication reads and writes value to external devices using the MICRO/I's dedicated DM Link memory.
The device type of dedicated DM Link memory is DM.
This method uses a dedicated IDEC protocol, so a communication program is required in the external device.
●
Communication Methods
Over the serial interface, when one external device is communicating with one MICRO/I using this communication
method it is called DM Link 1:1 communication, and when one external device is communicating with multiple MICRO/I
units, it is called DM Link 1:N communication. When external devices and the MICRO/I are communicating using DM
Link communication over the Ethernet interface (UDP protocol), it is called DM Link Ethernet (UDP) communication
■
DM Link 1:1 Communication
The external device is connected to a single MICRO/I by using a serial interface.
The Event Transmission function from the MICRO/I can be used with DM Link 1:1 Communication.
The Event Transmission function is a function that works as follows. When value in the dedicated DM Link memory of
the MICRO/I is changed, the data is transmitted from the MICRO/I to the external device.
