●Please Observe The Following
Observe the following precautions for securing operator safety and maintaining proper module
operations when operating it.
1. Carefully read and understand this User’s Manual before operating the module.
2. Do not install or store the module under the following environment:
(1) Dusty locations
(2) Locations where corrosive gases (such as SO2 and H2S) are generated
(3) Locations subject to vibration or impact
(4) Low- or high-temperature environment that is beyond the installation conditions specified in
this User’s Manual
(5) Humid locations
3. If the module’s ambient temperature or internal temperature rises abnormally or if the module
breaks down, stop using it and turn OFF its power. Then contact your nearest service
representative or our service office.
4. Do not open the module’s cover.
5. Do not modify the module.
6. Exercise care not to drop the product during transportation or the like.
7. FL654A complies with FL-net protocol Version 3.01 Class 1.Protocol version 3.01 Class 1 can be
mixed with protocol version 2.00, but FL-net protocol version 1.00 compliant equipment and
protocol version 2.00 / 3.01 class 1 compliant equipment cannot be operated on the same
network.
When building the system, please use it unified to protocol version 2.00 / 3.01 Class 1 compliant
equipment. Even when connecting with other company's FL-net compliant module, please use
the same protocol version.
CAUTION
Do not operate devices conforming to FL-net protocol
version 1.00 and protocol version 2.00 / 3.01 Class 1
compliant devices on the same network
If you join a protocol version 1.00 network, it goes down.
Prohibited
8. The FL654Asupports 10BASE-T (10Mbps) and 100BASE-TX (100Mbps).
When building the system, please make sure that the network speed of the equipment is unified
so that 10Mbps equipment and 100Mbps equipment are not mixed on the system.
9. Although FL-net applies Ethernet, real-time transmission is realized by avoiding collisions by
CSMA / CD method specific to Ethernet by controlling token (transmission right) dedicated to
FL-net over UDP / IP doing. Therefore, it cannot be mixed on the same network as general
Ethernet equipment.
When they are mixed, signal collision occurs on the transmission path, and real-time
transmission of FL-net cannot be guaranteed. Be sure to make the FL-net device a dedicated
network.

1.1 Functions and Features
FL654A is a remote I/O station module that connects G2 I/O module to FL-net.
By using the FL654A, you can connect the G2 I/O module to the FL-net system without the controller,
and update the input / output data of the remote I/O by cyclic transmission between the host
controller and the remote I/O station.
FL654A can be used as a function compatible product of integrated controller V series model 2000
FL-net remote I/O station module FL654.
1.1.1 Functions
(1) I/O automatic recognition function
The FL654A recognizes the G2 I/O module installed in the remote I/O station and performs
data communication by assigning the input module to the talker area of FL-net cyclic
transmission common memory and the output module to the listener area.
(2) Operation setting function
The FL654A can specify the network connection, I/O status at the time of failure, and the
talker/listener area position on the FL-net cyclic transmission common memory by the switch.
For details, refer to "Chapter 2 Hardware".
(3) RAS function
The FL654A can check the operation status with LED display and module status and can
collect RAS information with terminal software of PC. For details, refer to "Chapter 7 RAS
Function".
(4) Maintenance function by engineering tool nV-Tool
The FL654A can be maintained in combination with the engineering tool nV-Tool by operating
with the TOOL designation. For details, refer to "Chapter 9 Maintenance Using nV-Tool".

1.1.2 Features
(1) FL-net compliant
The FL654A is a product conforming to the FL-net protocol Version 3.01 Class 1 of the Japan
Electrical Manufacturers Association. Protocol version 3.01 Class 1 can be mixed with protocol
version 2.00, and it is possible to connect with FL-net products of our company and other
companies.
Important
・
With FL-net, protocol version 1.00 compliant equipment and protocol version 2.00 / 3.01 class 1
compliant equipment cannot be operated on the same network.
(2) Cyclic transmission
The FL654A can perform I / O data communication with cyclic transmission of 50 ms / 32 units
and 2 K words + 2 K bits targeted for performance target of FL-net.
Important
・
The FL654A is applied to systems within the range of cyclic transmission performance according
to FL-net standard.
(3) Remote I/O station for the G2 I/O module
The FL654A enables the G2 I/O modules to be connected to the FL-net system without a
controller. Because it requires no controller, eliminating the need for using programs,
engineering costs are reduced.
Note
・
There are limitations on the types of connectable I/O modules.

Chapter 1 Overview

1.2 Input/Output and Send/Receive Operation
The FL654A takes one continuous talker area and one continuous listener area in Area 1 or Area 2
of FL-net cyclic transmission common memory. The talker and listener areas are independent of one
another. The FL654Acyclically transfers the input data of the input module to the talker area as send
data and the receive data of the listener area to the output module as output data. The FL-net cyclic
transmission periodically sends the data of the talker area and stores the receive data in the listener
area.
The figure below shows an example of assigning both the talker and listener areas toArea 2.
