2. Safety Precautions on Maintenance and Inspection
WARNING
Mandatory
When installing or removing
the module after wiring, make
sure that the external power
supply is off.
Otherwise, there will be live electric
poles on the back of the external
terminal block of the module, causing an
electric shock.
CAUTION
Prohibited
Do not drop, crush, or apply
strong shocks to the device or
board.
It may cause failure.
Mandatory
Before touching the device or
board, touch a grounded
metal to discharge the static
electricity of your body.
Otherwise, it may cause malfunction or
failure due to static electricity.
Mandatory
Wipe off stain on the device,
module, or board with a soft
cloth.
For severe stain, use a wet cloth wrung
tightly.
Leaving them stained may cause wrong
decision or malfunction.
Mandatory
Place a board or module
removed from the unit or base
unit on a conductive mat or
conductive bag (used for a
backup board, etc.) on a
grounded table.
Otherwise, parts may be damaged due
to static electricity.

shock or fire.
4. Safety Precautions on Daily Use
WARNING
No touch
Do not touch the terminals of
the module and unit during
energization.
It may cause an electric shock.
Prohibited
Do not modify, repair,
disassemble, or adjust the
device, module, or board.

1.1 Functions and Characteristics of the FL911 Module
The FL-net module FL911 is a device to connect the controller main unit of the
Unified Controller nv series to FL-net.
The Unified Controller nv Series can communicate with other devices on the
FL-net system via the FL911. The FL911 complies with the FL-net (OPCN-2)
protocol version 2.00.
The FL911 can configure transmission paths with twisted pair cables.
Characteristics of the FL911 module
FL-net compliance
The FL911 complies with FL-net of the Japan Electric Machine Industry
Association (JEMA) which can connect to our FL-net products. The FL911 is
certified by JEMA and is allowed connection to products of other
manufacturers.
High-speed cyclic transmission
High-speed cyclic data transmission can be performed.
It has common memory of 0.5k words (Area 1)＋8k words (Area 2)＝8.5k
words in the entire network. The maximum available amount of transmission
data per node is 8.5k words (1 word = 2 bytes).
[Cyclic transmission common memory area]
The configuration of the cyclic transmission common memory area is as shown
below.
Remark
The Engineering Tool manages Area 1 and Area 2 above as a continuous area. Therefore, the
beginning of the word data area (Area 2) is 512.
Note
Since there are constraints in assignment, refer to 7.3 Usage Constraints.
