Presentation
Modicon TSX Micro (TSX 37 21/22) or Modicon Premium PLCs, fitted with a PCMCIA
TSX FPP 10
card on their integrated communication channel, are agents on the
Fipio bus. (With Fipio bus manager, see page 5/103).
The Fipio bus enables I/O to be remotely located close to the devices to be controlled
(
TeSys U, Modicon STB, Momentum, Lexium, Altivar, etc). TheAgent function enables
offline processing, by locating a Modicon TSX Micro/Premium PLC close to the
machine.
In addition to the standard Fipio services (see pages 5/98 and 5/99), Modicon TSX
Micro (TSX 37 21/22) and Modicon Premium PLCs allow exchanges of input and
output variables with the bus manager PLC. These exchanges are performed
cyclically, automatically and without the involvement of the application program at
the same rate as the task for which the agent PLC has been configured.
For
Fipio bus wiring system
and connection accessories, see pages 5/110 to
5/113.
