Chapter 1: Outline
1
An FL-net module (JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL, FL-net board (Z-336J)) is an interface module use to connect a
programmable controller (JW20H/30H, JW50H/70H/100H), J-board to an FL-net. FL-net is an open network
that connects production equipment and controllers from multiple FA (factory automation) venders, to create a
unified production process. This network works as an intermediary between information networks and produc-
tion networks, and makes it possible to connect control devices (such as personal computers or programmable
controllers, hereafter referred to as PCs), to numeric control devices (CNCs), and robot controllers (RCs). The
Ethernet is used as a world standard communication method to allow communication between pieces of OA
(Office Automation) equipment.

FL-net employs an FA link protocol as an application layer.
Features of the FA link protocol
1Uses the Ethernet UDP/IP communication protocol.
2Using a Master-less, Token method, the system prevents data transmission conflicts and guarantees
the transfer of data within a specified time.
3Employs a shared memory system (shares information between each of the nodes).
4Nodes can automatically enter and leave the network.
Features of the JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL, Z-336J
1FL-net compatible (uses the FA link protocol)
2Supports cyclic transfers and message transfers.
3Supports exchange of data between SHARP PCs using the SEND/RECEIVE function. (A unique
function of SHARP equipment)
4Allows remote programming and remote monitor functions between SHARP PCs. (A unique function of
SHARP equipment)
- FL-net is an open network that was standardized by the Japan FA Open Systems Promotion Group (JOP) in
the Manufacturing Science Technology Center (MSTC).
- Ethernet is a registered trademark of XEROX CORPORATION, USA.

Chapter 2: Handling Precautions
Make sure to follow the precautions bellow who using the JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL (hereafter referred to
as this module) and Z-336J (hereafter referred to as this board).
(1) Installation
2
- Do not install or store this unit in the following conditions.
1 Locations close to a heating element
2Sudden temperature changes which may cause condensation
3Corrosive or inflammable gas
4Vibration or hard jolts
- The minimum distance between nodes is specified in the regulations. (2.5 m when the 10BASE5
is used.) When connecting devices, be sure to maintain these minimum distances.
Cables used for 10BASE5 systems have marks every 2.5 m. Position each transceiver directly
on one of these marks.
- Mount the transceivers on electrically insulated objects, such as a wooden mounting block.
- Prior to installing or detaching the JW20H/30H or JW50H/70H/100H, make sure to turn OFF the
power supply to the PCs.
- Prior to connect the board, make sure to turn OFF the power to the J-board.
- Isolate the hub case electrically from the control panel chassis.
(2) Treatment
JW-20FL5/20FLT and JW-50FL
- For ventilation, holes are provided in the cabinet to prevent a temperature rise. Do not block
the ventilation holes. Good ventilation is necessary.
- Never allow a liquid such as water and chemical solution and a metallic object like a copper wire
inside this module to avoid a possible hazard. Otherwise, it may be a cause of machine
trouble.
- When a trouble or abnormal condition such as overheat, fume, or smoke is met, stop the
operation immediately, and call your dealer or our service department.
Z-336J
A J-board is a PC board which contains sensitive electronic parts. Therefore, be careful when han-
dling it.
1Before touching the board with your hand, make sure to discharge all static electricity from
your body.
2Do not touch the board if your hands are dirty or wet.
3Do not put the board down on a conductive object (such as a metal plate).
(If a J-board with a CPU is placed on a conductive object, the battery terminals may be short
circuited and the back up memory will be lost.)
4Do not handle any switches, connectors, or terminal blocks on the J-board using excessive
force.
(3) Grounding
- Connect the J-board FG terminal (on the terminal block on the CPU board) to an independent
class 3 ground. Do not share the ground with high voltage equipment.
- The hexagonal standoffs (supplied with each board) for assembling the J-board are used for
connecting the ground (FG). Make sure to tighten them securely.
(4) Wiring precautions
- Install the communication lines at a distance of 60 cm or more away from motor power lines or
high voltage lines.
- Do not route wires near equipment that generates electrical noise.
- Use category 5 10BASE-T shielded twisted pair cable.
- Use an isolated shield transformer to provide power to the hubs.
- We recommend using a transceiver cable that is 2 m or shorter.

6-1 Installing an Ethernet cable
Workers who will install or hook up an Ethernet cable must have special training and knowledge, such as
the safety procedures and standards required by this technology (JIS X5252).
We recommend that you contact a specialist for perform any installation or hook up. (Sharp Document
Systems Co., Ltd. is providing the Ethernet installation work service, and supplying network products
from Allied System Co., Ltd.)
[1] Equipment layout
- The minimum distance between nodes is specified in the regulations. (2.5 m when the 10BASE5 is
used.) When connecting devices, be sure to maintain these minimum distances.
Cables used for 10BASE5 systems have marks every 2.5 m. Position each transceiver directly on one
of these marks.
- Mount the transceivers on electrically insulated objects, such as a wooden mounting block.

[1] 10BASE5 system
The basic configuration of a10BASE5 system consists of one coaxial cable, with a maximum length of
500 m, and nodes connected to this cable as shown below. Each node is connected to the coaxial cable
using a transceiver and a transceiver cable (AUI cable). Two types of transceivers are available: Single
port transceivers to connect a single transceiver cable (AUI cable), and multi-port transceivers to con-
nect more than one cable.
This basic configuration unit is referred to as "segment." A maximum of 100 nodes can exist in one
segment.

7-1
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function
If the distance between nodes is greater than 500 m, connect a repeater as shown below, or to increase
the number of segments by branching. The figure below is an example of a system with a maximum of
1500 m of cable. Arrange the configuration so that there are never more than two repeaters between
any two nodes along any path.
7
Basic connections in a 10BASE5 system (maximum 1500 m using repeaters)
CAUTION
Connect the repeater to the coaxial cable through a transceiver and transceiver cable. Repeaters
can be connected to any transceiver in the same segment. The installation distance between
transceivers is considered to be a multiple of "2.5m" lengths. That is, any cable length should be
evenly divisible by 2.5 m and not have a remainder.
7-2
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function
The example shown below allows up to 2,500m between nodes. In order to extend communication
distance, link cables are used (with repeaters at both ends). The maximum length of one link is 500
m. These cables are referred to as "link segments."
The link segments must not connect nodes directly. However, the areas surrounded by dotted lines,
including repeaters at both ends, are treated as a single repeater. This does away with the limitation
on the total number of repeaters between nodes in a system.

7-2 FL-net
[1] Description of the FL-net
(1) The FL-net concept
FL-net is an FA control network that uses an Ethernet protocol.
FL-net has a cyclic transfer function and a message transfer function.
The basic concepts of the FL-net are as follows.
1Ethernet protocols are used for communication (physically and as conceptual data links)
between FA controllers.
2 A UDP/IP scheme compatible with the Ethernet is used. It establishes the basic data transfer
procedures.
3 While using the basic data transfer methods above, FL-net guarantees data transfer within a
specified time by managing and controlling (preventing conflicts) the access to communications
by each node in the network.
The goal of the FL-net is to control devices such as programmable controllers (PC), robot controllers
(RC), numeric control devices (CNC), and establish an FA control network that allows the exchange of
data between personal computers.
The figure below shows the conceptual arrangement of the FL-net.

Note: The transport layer and network layer use the UDP/IP addressing scheme. The data link layer
and physical layer use the Ethernet scheme.
(3) Features of the FL-net transfer system
7
The FL-net data transfer system has the following features.
1It manages the transmission of data using the Master-less Token method, and prevents commu-
nication conflicts.
2It is possible to specify a certain refresh cycle interval as the FL-net circulates a Token.
3The specified Token is transmitted together with the cyclic data.
4When starting up, the FL-net sends a token from the node with the lowest node number.
5When a token is not received within a certain interval, the next node sends a token.
6By using the Master-less Token method, even if some nodes are faulty the network will not stop
operating.
7The FL-net has an information management table for items such as the operation mode (RUN/
STOP) / hardware error (ALARM), so that it can inform other nodes of the operation status.
7-7
Chapter 7: Computer Link Function
(4) FL-net's IP address scheme
Each node in the FL-net should be set independently using class C addresses. An "IP address" is an
address used to identify a specific node (station) when sending data and using an Internet Protocol
(IP). Therefore a unique IP address should be assigned to each node or device. The FL-net uses
class C IP addresses.
The default value of an FL-net IP address is "192.168.250.***", where "***" is the node number.

Message transfer data limit
[5] Transfer cycle
In the cyclic transfer operation, the JW-50FL refreshes the common memory almost constantly. The
JW-50FL controls the transfer of messages so that the refresh interval of the common memory does not
exceed the allowable refresh cycle interval for a single message transfer.
Each node always monitors the messages being transferred throughout the network, waiting to receive
a token addressed to itself. If no message transferred by the network within this cycle, the refresh cycle
interval is increased to 120 % of its current value.
Due to the monitoring process above, the refresh cycle interval is automatically determined by the
number of nodes active on the network.

[8] Cyclic transfer and data area
(1) Outline of the cyclic transfer process
The cyclic transfer process is a function that supports cyclic data exchanges that occur between
nodes.
1Establishes the common memory function.
2Transmits when a node receives the token.
3Nodes which do not execute cyclic transfers within the network are allowed to participate.
4When received the token, the node sends all the cyclic data that it needs to send.
- Token: Generally, only one token exists in a network. If more than one token exists in a
network, the token with the lowest destination node number has priority and any other token
is discarded.
- Token frame: A frame with a token has a destination node number and a transmitting node
number. The node whose number matches the destination node number holding the token.
- Token order: The token rotation order is determined by the node numbers. The token is
passed to the nodes in order that the nodes were registered in the participating node man-
agement table. The node with the highest node number hands the token over to the node
with the lowest node number.

(2) Common memory
The description of the common memory is as follows.
1The common memory allows the memory to be shared between nodes performing a cyclic
transfer.
2Two types of areas (area 1 and area 2) are allocated for each node.
3If an area needed by a node to send its data exceeds the transfer size allowed for one frame,
namely, more than 1024 bytes, the node should use multiple frames to send the data.
4When receiving multiple frames of related data, as described in point 3) above, the common
memory does not renew the common memory details until it has received all of the frames
being sent by one node. In other words, it guarantees simultaneity of each node.
(However, if the data in area 2 exceeds 3084 bytes, the JW-50FL cannot guarantee
simultaneity for hardware reasons.)
58 K bits + 8 K words = 8.5 K words (fixed) of common memory must be reserved in the node
communication section.
6The size of areas 1 and 2, used as the sending area for one node in the common memory, can
be specified as any size within the maximum size allowed for the area.
7Since each node broadcasts data with a certain interval, it provides a function for sharing the
same data throughout the system. Each node in an FL-net is assigned a sending area that
does not overlap with the others for exchanging data. In common memory operations, the
sending area for one node will be the receiving area for another node.

One node can be allocated two data areas (area 1 and area 2) for common memory. To determine
the sending area, specify a top address and the size of the area.
To access the area, use word addresses. Area 1 consists of 0.5 K word. Area 2 consists of 8 K words.

(4) Guarantee of simultaneity
The cyclic transfer divides data into frames, depending on the amount of data being sent.
The FL-net guarantees the simultaneity on common memory of each node using the following proce-
dures.
Note: When area 2 exceeds 3084 bytes, the JW-50FL cannot guarantee the simultaneity
of the data for hardware reasons.
1Data transmission timing
When a node receives a request to send data from the upper layer, it copies its own cyclic data
into a buffer and sends the data, one word after another. When the amount of data being sent is
more than will fit in one frame, it divides the data in the buffer into multiple frames before
sending.
2Refresh timing when receiving
After a node has received all the cyclic data from some other node, it will refresh the correspond-
ing area while synchronizing with the upper layer.
When a cyclic data is sent as multiple frames, the receiving node will refresh the area after receiv-
ing all the frames from the other node. If any of the frames is missing, it will delete all the data from
that node.

[9] Message transfers
(1) Outline of the message transfer process
The message transfer process is a function that allows asynchronous data to be exchanged be-
tween nodes.
The basic operation of the message transfer process is shown below.
1When a node receives a token, it will send a maximum of one frame of message data before
the cyclic frame data sending.
2A maximum of 1024 bytes can be sent at one time.
3The JW-50FL uses an algorithm to prevent nodes from exceeding the allowable refresh cycle
interval for message transfers.
4The JW-50FL has a "1:1" message transfer mode for sending to a specified node, and "1:N"
message transfer mode to send to all nodes.
5It has a data send confirmation function used to check whether a target node has correctly
received the data in a "1:1" message transfer.

8-1 Setting procedures
This section describes all of the FL-net module setting procedures. For details about message transfers,
the communication management area, and the SEND/RECEIVE function, see the respective chapters.
1 Specify a parameter area
See Chapter 12.
A parameter area is allocated within the control module.
- When the JW20H, JW30H, or J-board is used for a PC, set the parameter area in accordance
with the set value of the module No. switch.
- When the JW50H/70H/100H is used for host PC, set switch SW3 on the JW-50FL.
2Enter basic data
Enter basic data (node number, token monitor interval, and minimum separation of frames) in the
parameter area (addresses 00 to 05(8)).
3Settings related to cyclic transfers
1) Enter the top address for the common memory areas (area 1 and 2)
- The data memory area (see pages 8-4 to 8-6) in which a common memory area can be
assigned in the PC varies with the model of the module installed in the PC.
- Enter the top addresses for area 1 and area 2 at parameter addresses 20 to 26(8) as word
addresses (see pages 8-7 to 8-12).
2) Enter the send area address for this node
- Enter the send area parameters for this node (top address and data length) for areas 1 and
2 at addresses 10 to 17(8). Enter a word address (page 8-7 to 8-12) for the top address.
8
4Settings related to message transfers
See Chapter 9 (page 9-2).
When you will not be using the client function in the messages that are sent, this setting is not
required.
1) Set the buffer area for transmitted messages
Enter the top address of the transmission buffer, and this area (address +0000 to 4055(8):
2094 bytes) will also be set. Enter the top address at parameter addresses 34 to 36(8).
2) Enable use of the transmission buffer
Enable/disable the use of this buffer for each message. Use parameter address 37(8).
5Assign the communication management area
See Chapter 10 (page 10-1).
Enter the top address of the communication management area, and the areas (address +000 to
301(8): 194 bytes) will also be set. Enter the top address at parameter addresses 20 to 26(8).
6Enter the node name
Enter the node name at parameter addresses 40 to 51(8), if required.
7Enter a SEND/RECEIVE instruction time-out time
See Chapter 11.
When using the SEND/RECEIVE function, enter a time-out time (0.1 to 25.5 seconds) at param
eter address 60(8). If you will not be using the SEND/RECEIVE function, this setting is not re-
quired.
8Set the start switch
Change the value at parameter address 77(8) from 00(H) to 01(H), and transfer the parameter
setting details from the control module (CPU board) to the FL-net module, to start communication.

[1] Token round time
The token round time can be obtained as follows.
Node N－1
△Tn
Node N
Spacing between data
of this node and the
previous node
m
Token round time = ∑ △Tn
n=1
(Total of the space (time) between data from this node and all previous nodes.)
"Tn" varies with the amount of data sent by the previous station. It also varies with the processing timing
of the JW-50FL. To get the token round time, perform a calculation based on the rough numbers shown
below.

- The values above are for the JW-50FL. For other nodes, see each manual.
When message transfers are used, the communication time will be longer. However, the FL-net re-
stricts the token round time when using message transfers to 1.2 times that of a message transfer.
[2] Round time when a communication error occurs
If a station goes down, the node immediately after the dead node will issue a token. This time depends
on the token monitor time of the dead node. Therefore, if one station goes down, its cycle will result in a
longer token monitor time than the dead node would have used. If two consecutive nodes go down
simultaneously, the next node will issue a token. In this case the time required to issue a new token will
be the total of the token monitor time of both dead nodes. If more than two consecutive nodes go down,
a similar calculation will apply.

Chapter 9: Message Transfers
The message transfer method used with the module classifies messages as "client function," "transmission
type message," or "remote function" (SHARP's proprietary function). These classifications can be assigned
by setting each type to "Used" or "Not used," as shown below.

[2] Basic format of computer link commands
(1) Communication format
When a computer link is used, data sent from this node to a target node is referred to as a [com-
mand], and data received from the target node by this node is referred to as a [response]. The
communication format for commands and responses is as follows.
ËCommand
+2000
+2047 +2050 +2051
+2052 +2053

r-ID ATTR COM RSLT
Response Text
Header
: Normally, all 40 bytes are 00(H).
If you want to communicate with Ethernet over two layers, you have to use an exten-
sion header.
(See "[5] Two-layer communication with Ethernet")
c-ID

r-ID
: 45(H)
ATTR
COM
RSLT
: 00(H)
: Command code (See page 9-14)
: Command execution result
Normally terminated with 00(H)
If any byte other than 00(H) is found, an error code will be output (See "[4] Computer
link error code table").
If an error code is output, there is no response text.

Remarks
The maximum data length for read/write operations is 1024 bytes. In case of two-layer communication
with the Ethernet, however, the maximum length is 256 bytes. For the UDP, the total number of bytes
from the header to the command text must be less than 1024 bytes.

PADR
- Memory capacity varies with type of control module and memory module used. The
values above are the maximum values.
The program address is to be designated using PSEG and PADR.
Address 000000 to 076777(8)
Address 100000 to 176777(8)
: PSEG = 8, PADR is the address expressed in hexa-
decimal notation.
: PSEG = 9, PADR is the value in hexadecimal nota-
tion obtained by subtracting 100000(8) from the ad
dress.
[Example] Address 043256(8) : PSEG = 08(H), PADR= 46AE(H)
Address 153762(8) : PSEG= 09(H), PADR = 57F2(H)

Chapter 9: Message transfers
BLOC : Bit location on the data memory
The register (file register) is to be designated using DSEG and DADR.
[Example] Register 09000
: DSEG = 00(H), DADR = 0800(H)
030000 of the file 1 : DSEG = 01(H), DADR = 3000(H)
The relay address is to be designated using DSEG, DADR, and BLOC.
The destination is made by the combination of the file address and the bit location.
[Example] Relay 07252: DSEG = 00(H), DADR = 01D5(H), BLOC = 02(H)
(bit 2 of the file address 000725 (]0725))
TADR : Timer/counter number
To assign a timer/counter number, use TADR. (Hexadecimal notation)
JW20H JW30H
J-board (Z-300 series) J-board (Z-500 series)
0000 to 01FF(H) 0000 to 03FF(H)
SADR : System memory address
JW50H/70H/100H
0000 to 03FF(H)

(3) Execution condition
1Write enable mode
Each command will be executed or depending on the current status of the write enable mode.
Write enable mode
Mode 0
Details
Writing to all of memory is prohibited
Writing is only enabled to data memory
Writing is enabled to all of memory
Mode 1
Mode 2
9
When the power is first applied, the module is in "mode 0." Therefore, if you want to write data
from the host computer, change to "mode 1 or "mode 2" using the setting command (command
code F9(H)). The current status can be read using the reading command (command code E9(H))
for the write enable command.
2PC operation status
Some commands can be executed when the PC halts operation (writing programs: Command
code 14(H) etc.). Other commands can be executed whether the PC is halted or is running (read-
ing programs: Command code 04(H) etc.)

[An example of using the JW-20FL5/20FLT]
Command line
- When making a two-layer communication with the FL-net, the frame needs to contain the information
including the source, transit stations, and destination, and slot number (i.e. designating the communi-
cation path). The FL-net uses eight bits to represent a station number. For that reason, when designat-
ing a module on the Ethernet, a station number for the FL-net needs to be designated. The address is
referred to as a pseudo station number.
9
(a) PDA
: Pseudo destination address
Designate the station number of JW-255CM that connects with the Ethernet. This
may be any value within the range of 1 to 254 that can be discriminated from other
equipment on the Ethernet.
(b) PSA
: Pseudo source address
Designate the station number for the equipment sending the command. This may be
any value within the range of 1 to 254 that can be discriminated from other
equipment on the Ethernet.
With respect to the response, the pseudo target station number that is given by the
command will be set.
(c) FT0
(d) PO0
: Frame type 0
Designate 60(H).
: Transit slot number
Designate the slot number on the transit station PC that the FL-net module JW-
20FL5/20FLT is installed on. This number is 2, 3 ... up to 7 from the next position of
the control module (in case ZW-6CC is used.)
: End target station address
(e) EA1
(f) FT1
Designate the end target station address 1 to 254 on the FL-net.
: Frame type 1
Set the 40(H).
(g) Command line: Command/response line
c-ID/r-ID and after of communication format (page 9-19)
9-43
Chapter 9: Message transfers
Note
The two-layer communication is possible only with the computer link to the module on the FL-net from
the host computer on the Ethernet via transit stations. Communication in the reverse direction, or the
computer link from the host computer on the FL-net to this module, is not possible.
Example: In the following example as shown in the diagram, the expansion header needs to be as
follows.

9-6 Remote programming and remote monitor functions
The remote programming and remote monitor functions are methods for operating a PC on another node
connected to the FL-net. These are proprietary SHARP functions. These functions can be used only
between PCs that are quipped with SHARP FL-net modules (boards). You can access these functions
using the following support devices.
- Hand held programmer: JW-14PG
- Ladder software: JW-100SP, JW-92SP, and JW-52SP
Although these functions use request TCD (1001) and response TCD (1201) in transmission type mes-
sages, users are not required to make any settings.

Chapter 11: SEND/RECEIVE function
The SEND/RECEIVE functions are exclusive SHARP functions. These can only be used between PCs
equipped with FL-net modules (board).
Note: The SEND/RECEIVE functions can be used only when a JW30H, JW50H/70H/100H, or a J-
board (Z-500 series) is used as the host PC. This function cannot be used with the JW20H or J-
board (Z-300 series).
The SEND/RECEIVE functions allow the exchange of data between certain nodes within a specified
maximum time. The SEND function is used to declare a target node and write data from that node. The
RECEIVE function is used to declare which node will return data to the node issuing the call and then it
receives the data.

Detail
instruction
F-203 (OPCH) Declare a station to communicate with (single layer)
F-204 (SEND) Write data to the target station
11
F-205 (RCV) Read data from the target station
Enter the module No. (port No.)/channel of the host module (board) by using the F-203 (OPCH) instruc-
tion. This instruction includes the target node number, and the data memory address in the target node.
Enter the data memory address for number of bytes to be transferred using the F-204 (SEND) / F-205
(RCV) instructions. Using these instructions, when the JW-50FL receives a response from the target
node, it completes this function automatically. There is no need for special program for the target node
PC.
- When using the SEND/RECEIVE functions, the data route between the control module (CPU board)
and FL-net module (board) is referred to as a "channel." There are four channels (CH0 to CH3) for
each module (board). Each channel can transfer 256 bytes of data. Therefore, in a ladder program, up
to four SEND/RECEIVE functions can be executed at once.

Note
- The entry condition of F-203/204 instruction needs to be kept ON until the execution of the instruc-
tion completes (or until any error occurs or the carry flags turns ON). If the entry condition turns
OFF while the instruction is being run, the instruction will end in an incomplete condition. Once this
condition occurs, a "communication jam" occurs when an instruction execution is attempted the
next time, and the instruction will not run properly. To restore the condition, power OFF the PC,
and turn it ON again.
11
- If the entry condition turns OFF, due to an instantaneous power failure, turn the entry condition to
"latched relay" as a remedy. If, however, any power loss occurs while an instruction is being run
using "latched relay," turning the power ON again will cause F-203/204 instructions process being
run to disappear, and the entry condition will stay ON. Therefore, the start of the entry may not be
detected. Since, in this case, all flags will be turned OFF, detect the continuation of the OFF
condition of all flags using the timer, and then reset the entry condition before running the next
instruction.

[3] How to check an IP address using the Ping function on a personal computer
Even without specialized tools, such as the FL-net network analyzer, you can check the connections
and IP addresses of FL-net equipment using an ordinary personal computer running Windows95 etc.
The method for using the Ping function is described below.
When an IP connection is made, check the connection using the Ping
command.
(1) Bring up an [MS-DOS] prompt by selecting [Start] -> [Program] on
Windows95, and then select [MS-DOS prompt] to display an [MS-
DOS window].
Microsoft(R)Windows95
(C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1996.
C: ¥WINDOWS>
(2) Enter a Ping command, and execute a basic communication test
between the link module and the personal computer. To send a Ping
command, type Ping [IP address] or Ping [host name].
<Ex.: using an IP address> Ping 192.168.250.13
If the equipment on the FL-net is set properly, the following
messages will appear.

13-3 General precautions related to the FL-net
For details about the FL-net transfer route standards, see the previous section and IEEE802.3. In addi-
tion, the following limitations and precautions should be noted.
Description
Do not place communication data from other Ethernet devices on the FL-net communication
cables.
1
2
3
4
Do not connect the FL-net to a router.
Switching hubs cannot be used on the FL-net.
Using IR communications or other wireless media may reduce the communication speed.
When a personal computer is used, the communication speed may be affected by the amount
of memory, the OS used, and other applications running on the personal computer.
5
Use the specified IP addresses.
Network addresses should be used (the standard network address is 192.168.250.) The IP
address node numbers (station numbers) should be within the allowable input range.
Be careful not to use the same node number
6
Network address
192.168.250
Node number
twice because the node numbers are not
checked during the initialization check.
They will be checked when communication
starts.
1 to 249
7
8
9
Connect the ground securely. Use ground lines that are large enough.
Separate the communication lines from any noise generating sources. Do not lay
communication lines parallel to power lines.
When executing both cyclic data communications and message data communications at the
same time, the communication speed may drop due to the volume of data.
10
11
12
Areas (common memory areas) for cyclic data communications are not required to be
adjacent to each other.
When an SQE switch is installed on a transceiver, make sure it is properly installed according
to the instruction manual.
Depending on the processing capacity of the connected devices, the minimum time for
communication throughout the system may be affected. Set the communication processing
13 speed for the device with the slowest communication capacity (calculated from the minimum
allowable time between frames). Note that adding a single device may drop the
communication speed of the whole system significantly.
The header section of message data communications is big endian, and the data section is
14 little endian. However, the system parameters, that is data section at reading profile, is big
endian. (Big endian is a method in which the MSB is sent first.)

13-4 Error indicators on the display panel
If an error occurs while communicating with the module, the error details can be checked by reading
the error code on the display panel (LED display) of the module. Find the cause of the error by looking
up the error code that is displayed. Then take the appropriate countermeasures (resetting the param-

[1] Brief description of the Ethernet
Ethernet is a standardized LAN (Local Area Network) arrangement used to communicate between
personal computers and printers. It prescribes the communication data format, cables and connectors
to use. The Ethernet standards are established by the Ethernet working group: IEEE802.3 of the IEEE.
Currently standards such as 10BASE5, 10BASE2, and 10BASE-T have been clearly defined. The
working group is continually examining new standards, such as 1000BASE-T, and others. The trend in
standards from the IEEE802.3 working group is shown below.
As of November 1998: Quoted from IEEE web site

[2] 10BASE5 Specifications
10BASE5 is a connection method for creating an Ethernet network using a coaxial cable approximately
10 mm thick (The thick cable is also called the "yellow cable"). The "10" in "10BASE5" refers to a data
transfer speed of 10Mbps. The word "BASE" means that the data transfer system is a "base band
system." Finally, the "5" means that the data transfer distance of a trunk is limited to 500 m. In order to
connect devices such as a personal computer, a transceiver is connected by coaxial cable. The trans-
ceiver is connected to devices using a transceiver cable (AUI cable). Since the 10BASE5 cable is thick
and it is not very easy to lay the cables, this system is rarely used for office networks. However, since it
can transfer data over long distances, this system is well suited for trunk networks.
The figure below shows a configuration example of a 10BASE5 Ethernet system.

Chapter 15: Appendix
[3] 10BASE-T Specifications
10BASE-T is a connection method for creating an Ethernet network using twisted pair cables. The "10"
in "10BASE-T" refers to the data transfer speed of 10Mbps. The word "BASE" means that the data
transfer system is a "base band system." The "-T" refers to the twisted pair cable that is used to carry
the data. On a 10BASE-T network, devices such as personal computers are connected using hubs.
Between devices, hubs must be routed and cannot be connected to each other. (However, a cross
cable (special cable) can be used to make a direct connection, but this is not common.) The maximum
length from a hub to any device is 100 m.
A 10BASE-T system can be constructed easily, since its cables are thin. Each device can be connected
or disconnected without affecting the network. Therefore, 10BASE-T is well suited for use in office
networks. The figure below shows a configuration example of a 10BASE-T Ethernet system.

[4] Other Ethernet Specifications
(1) 10BASE2
10BASE2 is a connection method for creating an Ethernet network using a coaxial cable approxi-
mately 5 mm thick (This cable is also called a "Thin cable"). The "10" in "10BASE2" refers to a data
transfer speed of 10Mbps. The word "BASE" means that the data transfer system is a "base band
system." Finally, the "2" means that the data transfer distance of a trunk is limited to 185 m (approx.
200 m). In order to connect devices such as a personal computer, a T-branch BNC connector is
connected to each device, and a coaxial cable comes in on each side of the T. The figure below
shows a configuration example of a 10BASE2 Ethernet system.

Optical Ethernet is a connection method for creating an Ethernet network using an optical fiber cable
to transfer data. It can be used for distances over 500 m and in systems that must be immune to
noise. The following standard (IEEE802.3) connection methods are available: 10BASE-FP, 10BASE-
FB, 10BASE-FL, 10BASE-FX,1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-SX. The figure below shows a con-

[7] Principles of the FL-net system
The goal of an FL-net is real-time communication between controllers, such as programmable control-
lers, robot controllers, and numeric control devices, in production systems.
The FL-net constructs a token passing mechanism using an instantaneous information transfer based
on Ethernet UDP/IP protocols to execute cyclic and message communications.
[8] Differences between a general-purpose Ethernet and FL-net
FL-net is a network developed specifically for the FA (Factory Automation) field. Therefore, not all
general purpose Ethernet equipment can be used on the FL-net. Some items may not have suitable
noise immunity in an electrically noisy environment.
FL-net is must respond immediately, to maintain real-time communication for control, and therefore
only controllers and control equipment compatible with the FL-net can be connected.
FL-net employs a cyclic communication method, using the instantaneous information transfer func-
tion of UDP/IP communication on 10BASE5/10BASE-T systems. Therefore, it has the following limi-
tations.
1. The devices currently available are only compatible with a 10Mbps Ethernet LAN.
2. Cannot have other general-purpose Ethernet devices connected to the network.
3. Does not support the TCP/IP communication function.
4. The use of a switching hub is not supported.
5. When a router is used, some router functions cannot be used.

[3] Physical implementations of an FL-net
There are five physical implementations of an Ethernet network that support a 10M bps data transfer
speed. They are 10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-F, and 10BROAD36 (this is not common/).
In addition to these implementations, a 100M bps Ethernet transmission speed is also available.
The FL-net supports 10BASE5 (recommended), 10BASE2, and 10BASE-T hardware.
[4] IP addresses on the FL-net
In order to identify one communication device among lots of devices connected to an Ethernet network,
the FL-net uses IP addresses (INET address). Therefore, each device that is connected to the network
mist have its own IP address.
An IP address consists of one part that identifies the network to which the device is connected, and a
unique device address. Depending on the size of the network, a network can be classified as one of
three classes: A, B, and C. (For special use, class D and E are also available.)
Classes of IP address
Top octet value
0 to 127
Network address section
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Device address section

192 to 223
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(Note: The gray digits are respective addresses.)
In a network, the IP address of all the communicating devices connected to this network will have the
same network address. They should each have a unique device address.
The default value for the FL-net IP address is "192.168.250.N" (N is the node number: 1 to 254). The
FL-net standard recommends using a class C IP address and the lower three digits of the address can
be used to assign node numbers according to the FL-net protocol.

Chapter 15: Appendix
[5] FL-net sub net mask
The sub net mask on an FL-net is always "255.255.255.0." The user does not need to set this sub net
value.
This value is identical to the original network address section and the device address section of the
class C.
[6] TCP/IP, UDP/IP protocols
TCP, UDP, and IP are major protocols used on Ethernet networks.
The IP is located in the network layer of communication protocols and controls the flow of communica-
tion data.
The TCP and UDP are located in the transport layer. Both use the IP as a network layer. However, there
is not much difference between these protocols in their details.
The TCP provides reliable service that does not care about the partition of data in the upper layer. On
the other hand, the UDP transfers groups of data (data diagram) from the IP to the upper layer without
any modification. It pays no attention to whether or not the data arrives nor does it care what the
destination is. Confirmation of the data being received and re-sending the data is the job of the upper
layer.
Although the UDP is not reliable, compared with the TCP, its advantage is that it has a small communi-
cation overhead.
The FL-net uses the UDP. This is because the TCP's data confirmation and re-sending procedures
make it difficult to meet the FL-net goals. By omitting this procedure, the FL-net protocol layer controls
data transmission correctly using tokens. And it divides and recombines multiple frames, so that it can
provide high speed data exchange.
[7] FL-net port number
In order to offer service from the FL-net protocol layer, that is the upper position of the transport layer,
the following port numbers are already specified. However, the user does not need to set the param-
eters for these port numbers.

15-4 Network control of the FL-net
[1] Token control of the FL-net
(1) Token
Basically, a node can send data whenever it holds a token. A node can send data without holding a
token when it reissues a token due to a time out of the token monitor time, or when it issues a
participation request frame so that it can begin participating in the network.
The FA net routes one token between the nodes.
Each node keeps the right to send data over the network from the time it receives the token until
it passes the token to another node.
The token flows through all the nodes participating in an FL-net.
A token can be sent together with cyclic data.
A token can be routed without data.
Tokens are monitored by the timer. If the token is not passed along through the network for a
certain interval, the network will automatically reissue a token.
If there are two tokens on the same network, the JW-50FL will unify them into one token.
15
15-19
Chapter 15: Appendix
(2) Flow of the token
Basically, only one token exists on the same network.
If there are two or more tokens on the same network, the token from the node with the smaller node
number takes priority, and the other tokens are discarded.
A frame with a token (a token frame) consists of a destination node number and the node number of
the node sending the token.
A node will become the node holding the token when the destination node number in a token frame
matches its own node number.
The routing order of a token is determined by the node numbers.
Each node passes the token in the order of the nodes listed in the participating node management
table.
The node with the largest node number will pass the token to a node with the smallest node number.

(4) Interval between frames (minimum allowable interval between frames)
The time interval after a node receives a token until it sends a frame is referred to as the "frame
interval."
The minimum interval that each node must wait for, before sending a frame, is referred to as the
"minimum allowable frame interval."
The FL-net shares this minimum allowable frame interval throughout the network.
Each node calculates the maximum value of the minimum frame interval each time a node joins or
leaves the participating node list.
15
15-22
Chapter 15: Appendix
[2] Joining and leaving an FL-net network
(1) Participation in the FL-net
Each node monitors the circuit while the FL-net starts up, to determine the interval of a participating
token detection time. When that time has elapsed, if it does not receive a token, the node concludes
that the network is just starting and tries to join the network as it starts. If it receives a token, it
concludes that it is monitoring a network that is in-ring startup state, and it tries to join the network.
New entry
If the JW-50FL does not receive a token after the participating token detection time has elapsed,
it will prepare to send a trigger, which it sends after 4 ms x its node number. If it receives a trigger
before sending a trigger, it will not send a trigger. After receiving a trigger it will wait 1200 ms to
receive a participation request frame. During that period, it will wait for all of the nodes to send
participation request frames while checking for duplicate use of its node number and address. It
also updates participation node management table. After the time it must wait before sending a
participation request frame (node number x 4 ms) has elapsed, it will send a participation request
frame. At this time, if a node has identified a duplicate use of its address by examining the partici-
pation request frames from other nodes, it sets the common memory top address and common
memory size of area 1 and 2 to zero, and does not send any cyclic data. A node that identifies
duplicate use of its address will set a duplicate address flag and reset the common memory data
to enable, so that the flag will be seen. After the time it must wait before sending a participation
request frame has elapsed, and after referring to the participating node table, the node with the
smallest node number will issue the first token. A node that has identified duplicate use of its node
number will not send or receive data.

Chapter 15: Appendix
Participation in an existing network
When the JW-50FL receives a token within the participating token detection time, it concludes that it
is linked to a network that is already established, and waits for a participation request frame up to
three token cycles. During this interval, it checks for duplicate use of its node number and address,
as well as updates the participation node operation table. At this time, if a node has identified a
duplicate use of its address by examining the participation request frames from other nodes, it sets
the common memory top address and common memory size of area 1 and 2 to zero, and does not
send any cyclic data. A node that identifies duplicate use of its address will set a duplicate address
flag and reset the common memory data to enable, so that the flag will be seen. If there are no
problems with the node numbers, a node will send a participation request frame after the waiting time
for sending a participating request frame has elapsed. The participating request frame will be sent,
regardless whether it has a token or not. A node that has identified duplicate use of its node number
will not send a participating request frame and will not send or receive data.
Remarks:
Participation token detection time: the time allowed to check whether the network is in operation
or not.
Cycling: This refers to the point when the smallest node number receives a token that has been
passed around the network.
Waiting time for sending a participation request frame: In order not to create a duplicate node
number with some other node trying to enter, the participation request frame is sent after the node
number x 4ms has elapsed.

(2) Leaving an FL-net network
Each node checks the node numbers each time it receives a token frame. If the JW-50FL does not
receive a token frame from a certain node three times in a row, the node is regarded as having left
the network.
(This is also true when the node holding the token does not send the token after token monitor time
has elapsed.)
If the JW-50FL determines that a node has left the network, it deletes that node's number from the
management table.

[2] Parts related to 10BASE5
(1) Transceiver
A transceiver converts signals flowing through coaxial cables (yellow cables) into signals that the
nodes can use, and vise-versa.
When you want to connect a transceiver, it should be installed at a distance of 2.5 m (or a multiple of
2.5 m) from any other transceiver. Coaxial cables are marked at 2.5 m intervals. That makes it easy
to install the transceiver over one of these marks on the cable.
Before connecting a transceiver to a coaxial cable, shut OFF the power supplies for the nodes and
transceivers. If you make a connection while the power is still on, you may cause a short circuit.
Use transceivers that conform to the IEEE802.3 standard.

To connect a tap type transceiver to a coaxial cable, make a hole in the coaxial cable insulation and
insert a probe that will make contact with center conductor in the coaxial cable. Remove the insula-
tion around the coaxial cable using a special tool.
Supply power from a node to the transceiver (12 VDC) using a transceiver cable. Some nodes may
require a separate 12 VDC power supply in order to use the transceiver cable. For details, see the
hardware manual for your node.
The "SQE" switch setting on a transceiver is made as follows.
1. ON when connected to a node.
2. OFF when connected to a repeater.

Repeater
A repeater is used to relay or transfer signals. It is used for communication between segments using
different media, to extend the length of a segment, to increase the number terminals that can be
connected, or to convert from one cable type to another. A repeater reads the electronic signals from
one segment, amplifies the signal as required, and sends it to all the segments connected to the
repeater.
The maximum transceiver cable length that can be connected to the repeater is 50 m. However, we
recommend using transceiver cable lengths of 2 m or less to prevent problems caused by noise. Pay
attention to the SQE switch settings.

(2) Coaxial cable
Coaxial cable consists of a center conductor and an external conductive layer that functions as a
shield. Coaxial cables used for Ethernet connections must have 50 ohms of impedance. An RG58A/
U cable can be used with 10BASE2 and a yellow cable can be used with 10BASE5.
The maximum length of a single 10BASE2 cable is 185 m and the maximum length of a 10BASE5
cable is 500 m.
Make sure to connect the shield (external conductive) to the ground to prevent problems from noise
(class D single point ground).

Chapter 15: Appendix
(4) Relay connector
This connector is used to make a connection between coaxial cables. Although the repeater is used
to extend a segment, a relay connector is used to extend a cable in the same segment. Be careful
because the use of multiple relay connectors on the same line may change the electrical resistance
of the coaxial cable. (We recommend not using more than one relay connector in the same line.)
Relay connector for Ethernet use
(5) Terminator (terminating resistor)
This is a device attached to the two ends of a cable, in order to prevent reflection of the signals in a
bus type arrangement. Terminators should always be connected to the ends of the cable. Without
termination device, signal reflection (collisions) may occur and the network may go down. Both "J"
type (used with a tap type transceiver) and "P" type (used for a connector type transceiver) termina-
tors are available. Install the terminators at one of the marks on the outer insulation of the coaxial
cable.

This device is used to prevent communication data errors that may be caused by electrical noise on
a coaxial cable. There should only be one ground point on any single piece of coaxial cable. Provide
class D grounding to connect this device.

(7) Transceiver cable
This cable is used to connect a transceiver to a node. The transceiver cable has a D-sub 15-pin AUI
connector on both ends. The maximum length allowed is 50 m. However, we recommend keeping
the cable length to 15 m or less to prevent problems from noise. Cables with a ground terminal must
be grounded.

(1) Laying and connecting cables
Various installation methods can be used, depending on local conditions. The major wiring methods
are shown below.
Exposed wiring on a wall.
Free access, wiring beneath the floor.
Wring inside cable racks
Laying cable in the ceiling.
(2) Precautions for laying and hooking up
Please observe the following precautions when laying cable and hooking up a network.
In principle, conduct all work indoors.
Cables may be stressed when secured on a wall. Except in special cases, provide support for the
cable at approximately 1 m intervals. Be careful not to deform the cables when securing them.
When laying cables inside cable racks or in the ceiling, secure them at appropriate intervals so
that the cables will not sag.
When laying cables below the floor or next to a wall, provide protective covers for the cables to
avoid damage from foot traffic or carts.
It is best to ground the external shield on the cables.
When grounding, ground only one point of each segment using class 3 grounding techniques.
In order to prevent contact between the conductor and exposed metal on any other device , apply
boots or insulation tape to "N" and "L" type connectors, linear sleeves, and terminators.
Make sure the cable is always at least 60 cm away from AC power cables (more than 100 VAC).

[4] Installation of network equipment in an FL-net
Shown below is an example installation of network equipment in an FL-net system.
1. Install a transceiver in a metal box using a wooden board for insulation. The box must have a class D
ground.
2. Run the transceiver cable to the controller control panel through metal conduit. Provide a class D
ground for the conduit.
3. Install a hub inside the controller control panel using a metal, U shaped bracket. Use a hub that is
electrically isolated from the metal mounts, such as by using rubber feet. Ground the hub mounts to
the control panel. The control panel must be provided with a class D ground.

[5] Wiring and grounding through wiring ducts and conduits
Shown below are methods for wiring and grounding through wiring ducts and conduits used on an FL-
net.
Observe the precautions below when wiring
1. When wiring using wiring ducts, separate the power lines and signal lines using a physical separator.
The wiring duct itself (including the lid and separator) must be grounded with a class D ground.
2. When using conduits, provide one conduit for the power lines and one for the signal lines. Use
conduit that complies with JIS-C-8305 and create a class D ground.
