The MVI69-FLN FA Control Network communication module is a singleslot solution that allows Rockwell Automation CompactLogix processors to
communicate with FL-net protocol-compatible devices. The module
implements the FL-net version 2.00 (OPCN-2) specification, as defined by
JEMA (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association) for the standard
FA control network. FL-net is a master-less system.
The MVI69-FLN module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network
and the CompactLogix/MicroLogix backplane. The data transfer from the
CompactLogix/MicroLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on
the FL-net network. The module’s internal database can be used to
exchange Area 1 and Area 2 cyclic, network, and module status data
between the processor and the FL-net network.
FL-net is a peer-to-peer networking system. All FL-net devices transfer
data using two shared databases with fixed sizes. The MVI69-FLN module
accepts commands to control and monitor the data stored in these two
databases. This data is passed between the module and the
CompactLogix/MicroLogix p
