CompoNet Networks
Some Slave Units receive output data from the Master Unit across the Com-
poNet Network and output it. Other Slave Units send data that has been input
across the network to the Master Unit. There are two types of Slave Unit
according to the I/O capacity of the Slave Unit.
Using Repeater Units enables expanding network connections as follows:
A sub-trunk line downstream from a Repeater Unit can be connected with the
same communications specifications (i.e., distances and number of Slave
Units) as the trunk line.
Up to 64 Repeater Units can be connected per network (i.e., per Master Unit).
When Repeater Units are connected in series from the Master Unit, up to two
layers can be created.
With a CompoNet Network, the Master Unit is located at one end of the trunk
line and a Terminating Resistor is connected to the other end of the trunk line.
If Repeater Units are used, each Repeater Unit is treated like a Master Unit,
i.e., Terminating Resistor is connected to the most remote end of the sub-
trunk line downstream from the Repeater Unit.
The trunk lines and branch lines in a CompoNet Network are defined as fol-
lows:
There are two ways to create branch lines.
• Word Slave Units: A Word Slave Unit is allocated 16 bits (i.e., 16 I/O
• Bit Slave Units: A Bit Slave Unit is allocated 2 bits (i.e., 2 I/O points) in the
