Chapter 9 Startup Using V-Tool
9.2.2
When the network where the FL-net communication was used is registered on V-Tool, it is
necessary to register FL-net module (FL312,FL612) and FL-net remote I/O station
(FL654,FL754) in another network type. This is because of the limitation in the specification
of V-Tool.
FL-net modules (FL312, FL612)
FL-net remote I/O station (FL654, FL754)
In V-Tool, the registration of the send data of the data communication module (registration
of the network variable) is executed on talker block of the network where the data
communication module is registered. Moreover, the registration of receive data is a method
to allocate the network variable to the reception side.
Because the network type is different, the network variable of FL-net module cannot be
registered as receive data in "FL-net ControlLAN". Similarly, the network variable of FL-net
remote I/O station cannot be registered as receive data in "FL-net LAN".
Dummy station (other station) is used on each network to use the network variable of
another network (Refer to Fig 9-6).
The data that FL612 transmits is treated as data that "FL-net ControlLAN Dummy station"
transmits in the "FL-net ControlLAN" network.

The data that FL654 transmits is treated as data that "FL-net LAN Dummy station" transmits
in the "FL-net LAN" network.
The method of setting the dummy station is explained from the next paragraph.
