Hitachi S10mini User Manual page 15

Thank you for purchasing the FL.NET module, which is an option for use with the S10mini/S10V.
This manual, named "USER'S MANUAL OPTION FL.NET," describes how to use the FL.NET
module. For proper use of the CPU link module, it is requested that you thoroughly read this manual.
The S10mini and S10Vproducts are available in two types: standard model and environmentally
resistant model. The environmentally resistant model has thicker platings and coatings than those for
the standard model.
The model number of the environmentally resistant model is marked by adding the suffix "-Z" to the
model number of the standard model.
(Example) Standard model: LQE500, LQE502
Environmentally resistant model: LQE500-Z, LQE502-Z
This manual is applicable to both the standard model and environmentally resistant models.
Although the descriptions contained in this manual are based on the standard model, follow the
instructions set forth in this manual for proper use of the product even if you use the environmentally
resistant model.
<Limitation of LQE500>
When mounting S10V, FL.NET module (LQE500) before Module Rev. B (Ver-Rev: 0002-0000)
doesn't provide for message communication function (neither do C mode handler and
mathematical/logical function), but provides for cyclic communication function applying common
memory area. Utilizing message communication function in combination with S10V, you should
use the module after Module Rev.C (Ver-Rev: 0003-0000).
Moreover, the above-mentioned Ver-Rev is a micro program Ver-Rev of FL.NET module which is
shown on "Module List" of S10V BASE SYSTEM.
<Precautions on the FL-net protocol version>
For the FL-net protocol, Ver. 1.00 and Ver. 2.00 are available. These versions are not compatible
and a Ver. 100 device and a Ver. 2.00 device cannot be connected to each other. Note the protocol
version that the FL.NET module can support varies depending on the model.
The FL-net protocol version for each model is shown below.
