SYSMAC CS-series Controller Link Units CS1W-CLK CSM CS1W-CLK DS E 5 1 New Controller Link Units, Now with 4,000 Send Words The Controller Link is an FA network that can send and receive large amounts of data easily and at high speed. The Controller Link supports data links that enable sharing data between PLCs and computers and a message service that enables sending and receiving data whenever required. With Wired Controller Link Units, systems can be flexibly built by using Repeater Units to enable T- CS1W-CLK23 CS1W-CLK13 CS1W-CLK53 branches, long-distance wiring, and converting part of the network to optical cable. Features Large-capacity data links are easily achieved without programming simply by setting data link tables. Up to 20,000 *1 send/receive words can be set per node for Units (up to 62,000 words for Boards). Data links can be performed with up to 4,000 *2 words per node while ensuring data concurrency. User-set data link tables can be changed while data links are operating. *3 Errors for the entire system can be monitored by using error diagnosis support software and a variety of status flags. With the token ring mode of Optical Ring Controller Link Units/Boards, duplex communications paths enable communications to continue normally even if the cable becomes disconnected. Detecting locations of disconnection greatly shortens time required for maintenance. Installing Controller Link Units in a CS1D system enables Duplex Communications Units to further enhance reliability. *4 *1. Supported for unit version 1.2 or later. *2. CS1W-CLK 3 and 3G8F7-CLK 3 are supported. *5 *5 *3. Supported for CS1W-CLK 3, 3G8F7-CLK 3, and models ending with-V1 (CS1W-CLK12-V1 and CS1W-CLK52-V1 with lot numbers 0306 or later ). *5 *5 *4. Supported for CS1W-CLK13/CLK12-V1 /CLK53/CLK52-V1 and CS1D Duplex and Simplex Systems. *5.
