Refer to the specifications of eachboard
Unit 5 is upper limit
PLC output size remains at 128 bytes

2-1-2 PLC connection wait time
It is the connection waiting time of sequencer and GSKIF at startup.
The time specified from power ON always waits for PLC connection.
During this time GSKIF does not receive any action.
Depending on the type of PLC, once connected with the PLC immediately
after power ON You may establish and immediately disconnect → reconnect.
By setting the PLC connection wait time, it is possible to prevent
PLC connection errors from occurring in this case as well.
【Reference】
・DevciceNet is 20sec
・0 seconds other than above(It will be in communication immediately after the connection with PLC is established)5

2-1-3 Tightening result pattern
Change the notification result of tightening result.
For more information
Refer to “3-4-2 Pattern switching of tightening result data”.
2-1-4 Tightening result address automatic adjustment
An area of unused unit output signal is assigned as a tightening result.
For example, in the case of equipment using only a maximum of 4 units,
the beginning (+ 34h) of unit 5 isSince it becomes the top address of the tightening result, the result area slightly
increases.
Use when you want to increase the number of screws resulting from tightening
The start address can be changed by the number of units
As it changes, the PLC side needs to pay attention to the reference address.

3-4-3 Number of screws that can be notified
It can be calculated by the following formula.
Notifiable number of screws = (Size-Top) / Number of bytes per screw
How to find Size

How to find Top[When the maximum specification of IO size (see Fn 6-12) is "00"]Refer to the specifications of each board to check the maximum size.
[Maximum specification of IO size (when Fn 6-12 [Bit 7-6] is other than "00")]
Select one of 64/128/256 bytes depending on the setting.
Refer to the IO map and check the start address of the tightening result.
The start address differs depending on the automatic adjustment of thetightening result address (Fn6-12).
[Do not adjust automatically]
Use the tightening result address of the IO map table as it is (84)

Number of bytes
per screw[Automatically adjust]Use the offset value of the next output signal of the unit being used.
If you are using up to unit 4, the address of unit 5 = 54
It depends on the tightening result pattern (Fn 6-12 [Bit 5-0].
Please refer to the table by pattern for details.

3-4-4 About endian of tightening result
The tightening result is 2-byte data (1 word) data.
There are two types of data order (endian): Big / Little.
EndianExample: When the data is "1234h"
Address + 0
Address + 1
BigLine up in descending order of digit
12h
34h
LittleArrange in ascending order of digits
34h
12h
It is up to the board to decide which endian to use.
Check the specifications of each board.
3-4-5 Reading timing of tightening result
Read the result data at the timing when the output signal “total OK (NG)” is 1.
(Wait is not necessary. Result data is also output when the overall judgment becomes 1)
All results are cleared to 0 by "judgment reset" or "ALL reset"
3-5 PLC connection error immediately after power onPower on, Anybus board and PLC start connection.
・Flashing of LED1 stops while PLC is connected.
・When the connection with the PLC is completed and it becomes operational,
the LED 1 will blink green.
・When the power can not be connected to the sequencer even after about 50 seconds when the
power is turned on, a connection error occurs.
PLC connection error alarm immediately after power ON can not be canceled.
3-6 PLC startup waiting time setting (Fn 6-15)
Depending on the PLC model, it may be temporarily disconnected and reconnected immediately
after the connection is completed after the power is turned on.
When GSK detects this disconnection, it will be considered as a PLC connection error and will bein an alarm state.
Such connection errors can be avoided by setting the PLC startup wait time.
Set a sufficient time in consideration of the PLC reconnection timing.
3-7 PLC connection error during operation
During operation GSKIF constantly monitors the connection with the sequence.
A connection error occurs if the connection can not be made with a sequence of about 1 second.
This alarm can be cleared.
Please input the alarm reset signal from the sequencer to GSK after the connection between the
GSK and the sequencer is restored.
