4. SAFETY OBSERVATION FUNCTION
(a) Basic settings (network configuration settings)
To perform the safety communication, select "Motion Mode (Safety Communication)" or "IO Mode
(Safety Communication)" for the station-specific mode setting. Set the number of devices for the
RWw/RWr setting as follows:
Motion mode: 52 points
When the I/O mode is used in the safety communication, the first 16 points in the cyclic RWw/RWr
frame are used for the safety communication.
Thus, to assign link device RWwn/RWrn, consider 16 points for offsets.
For RWwn6 (point table No. selection/next station No. selection), add 16 points as offsets and set a
value to RWw (n + 1) 6.
The following shows the number of offsets necessary for each frame.
(b) Position check of safety slave station
The MR-J4-_GF_-RJ and MR-D30 do not support the position check start function for the safety
slave station. Visually check the station number displayed on the 7-segment LED display of each
servo amplifier to ensure that the safety slave station is installed as designed and intended.
I/O mode: 32 points
Select Motion Mode (Safety Communication) or
Double-click the icon to start MR Configurator2.
