Local Area Network - Applications Centralized Data Monitering and Acquisition Manufacturing SCADA MMI Distributed Control Communication between programmable controllers Upload to a programmer or host computer from any PLC Download from a programmer or host computer to any PLC Read/write I/O values, registers of any PLC Monitoring of PLC status and control of PLC operation 3

Network Topologies Daisy-Chain Examples Each device has two sections of cable tied together Each end has termination (resistor/capacitor) Examples DH+ DH-485 Remote I/O Beldon #9463 cable SLC 4

Network Topologies Star Example All devices physically connected at one point Example Ethernet PLC PLC PLC PLC 5

Network Topologies Trunk-Line / Drop-Line Examples Trunk line very long - run through plant Drop lines very short Drops connected to trunk with Y-adapters Examples Data Highway (DH) Devicenet DH+ can be SLC Trunk Line Drop Line 6

Network Access Methods Token Passing: Each node can talk on the network when it has the token After done talking, the node will “Pass the token” to the next node Multi-master network Eliminates data collisions TOKEN SLC # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 7

Network Access Methods Master / Slave: Master talks to one slave at a time The slave can only talk if the master asks it for some information Polling network Eliminates data collision Single master network Network Controller (Master) Request ? Reply ! # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 SLC (Slave) SLC (Slave) SLC (Slave) SLC (Slave) 8

Networks - How to Decide on One? Maximum number of devices How many nodes are required for the application? How many nodes should be reserved for future expansion? Maximum network length Usually specified as the physical cable distance from the first node to the last node on the network Drop length is the length of cable from the main cable to the node Device supported Programmable controllers Programming devices Operator Interfaces Other Computers - PCs, Workstations, Minis, Mainframes... Response time Application interface 9
