CT Net Interface for Mentor II

 Discontinued no Longer available

 

MD29AN
CTNet is a high speed communications network and protocol, that allows large amounts of data to be transferred quickly between network nodes. CTNet is a de-centralized "peer-to-peer" system, requiring no master PLC controller, with each node taking its turn to control the network, and communicate directly with other network nodes.
32-bit co-processor MD-29
32-bit co-processor with CTNet MD29AN
 

Full MD29 functionality is retained, allowing a fully distributed control system to be implemented.
Supports data rates up to 5.0 Mbits/sec
"Peer-to-peer" communications system allows every node to transmit data to other nodes on the
network
No master PLC required. MD29 provides local intelligence using DPL programs.
"Easy Mode" set-up allows data transfer to be configured using drive parameters only. No MD29
programming required with "Easy Mode"
Full cyclic and non-cyclic transfers are configurable from SYPT
Fast cyclic data channel, transmits data on a configurable timebase, ranging from 1 ms to 99 ms
Slow cyclic data channel, transmits data every 2 to 19 cycles of the fast data channel
Up to 10 cyclic data links may be defined per node
Non-cyclic data channel allows a periodic communications between any two nodes
Cyclic and non-cyclic data can be "broadcast" to all other nodes
Up to 20 registers may be transferred on a single fast or slow data link
