Caution
z z If there is no XGT Panel whose station number is 0, N:1 communication cant start While station 0 is communicating with token after start of N:1 communication, if communication stops because of power cut or some reason, entire N:1 communication stop.

19.3 Setup
For N:1 communication, you have to set up the parameter. [Sequence] (1) Select the controller supporting N:1 communication and create a project. (2) Select [Common] [Project Property Setting] on the menu. (3) Select [XGT Panel Settings] (4) Set [Protocol] as RS485. (5) Click [N:1 Settings] button. (6) Check [Use N:1 Communication] and input the parameter.
[N:1 settings dialog box] [Description of the dialog box] Item Use N:1 communication N:1 station number Number of XGT Panel Token Holding time Description Select whether or not using N:1 communication Input N:1 station number. Up to 15 is available. Input the number of XGT Panel participating in N:1 communication. Up to 16 is available. Input the time to take from when _N1_Token_ Hold special device is on to off. Up to 69s is available. _Hold becomes off automatically Token Holding Time after on Token Holding time
_N1_Token_Hold bit On
Get Token
Note (1) [N:1 Settings] button shows when you select the controller supporting N:1 communication. (2) The number of XGT Panel has to be larger than N:1 station number (3) The larger the number of XGT Panel, the poor communication performance

N:1 communication only supports RS485 communication. If communication line is disconnected while station number 0 XGT Panel is having the token, N:1 communication may stop. So restore the communication line quickly. If _N1_Token_Hold special device is on for long, other stations cant communicate at this time. So smooth communication, Set _N1_Token_Holding time as short When using N:1 communication, [Program Monitor] function is not supported. If you use N:1 communication, PLCs monitor protocol cant be used so communication speed may go down. When simulator operates, N:1 communication doesnt operate

(5) Download the project to XGT Panel (6) If you press the above switch, it holds the token and communication performance goes up. Note (1) Instead of switch, you can use Token Hold Function by using script and etc. (2) Token Hold function take effect after XGT Panel has N:1 token (3) Token Hold Function is available temporarily
