About this Manual:
!
This manual describes the functions, characteristics, and operating procedures of the Host Link Units
for the C-series building block PCs (Programmable Controllers), i.e., the C120, C200H, C200HS,
C200HX, C200HG, C200HE, C500, C1000H, and C2000H Units.
Section 1 gives a brief overview of the applicable Units and how to connect them into a PC system,
including the settings for the host computer. It also gives details on various interface connections and
how to prepare cables for RS-422 and RS-232C connectors.
Section 2 gives the characteristics of the different Host Link Units which are grouped according to
their model numbers. The information includes their external appearance, the names of the switches
and the functions, the PC operating modes for the various settings, flags, and I/O response times.
Section 3 gives the basics necessary for effective programming. It starts with the full set of instruc-
tions and the command levels at which they operate. Communications protocols are outlined, and the
methods for calculating the Frame Checksum (FCS) values is explained.
Section 4 provides the commands and responses for the complete set of instructions covered in this
manual. It also includes a table of error response codes and communications examples using some
of the instructions.
Section 5 details ways of detecting, preventing, and remedying errors that occur in the Host Link sys-
tems.
Appendix A provides information on the standard Host Link Unit and Link Adapter models that are
discussed in this manual and gives details for accessories that can be used with the Host Link Units,
such as connector cables and optical fiber interfaces.
Appendix B gives specifications for the Host Link Units and Link Adapters.
Appendix C provides data conversions between ASCII characters and their hex, binary, and decimal
equivalents. It should be noted that the PC always stores ASCII data in its hexadecimal equivalent.
Appendix D lists the data equivalent for hex, binary, BCD, and decimal up to 32
The Glossary gives a comprehensive list of expressions commonly used when dealing with Host Link
Units and Programmable Controllers.
