DeviceNet Gateway
Signal type Bit
Signal
name
Description
15 RUN
Gateway Unit
normal output
This signal remains ON while the Gateway
Unit is operating normally.
The signal is synchronized with the
illumination of the LED (RUN) on the front
face of the unit.
14 G.ER
Gateway Unit
error detection output
This signal turns ON when a major shutdown
failure has been detected.
The signal is synchronized with the
illumination of the LED (G.ER) on the front
face of the unit.
13 T.ER
SIO communication
error detection output
This signal turns ON when a SIO link
communication error has been detected.
The signal is synchronized with the
illumination of the LED (T.ER) on the front
face of the unit.
12 TPC
Port switch ON output The status of the port switch on the front face
of the unit is output.
This signal is ON while the port switch is ON.
11 MOD4
Mode setting switch 4
output
10 MOD3
Mode setting switch 3
output
9 MOD2
Mode setting switch 2
output
8 MOD1
Mode setting switch 1
output
The setting status of each pin of the mode
setting switch is output.
This bit will turn ON (change to 1) when the
switch is turned ON.
7 Major V.4
6 Major V.2
5 Major V.1
The major version
number is output as a
three-bit binary value.
4 Minor V.16
3 Minor V.8
2 Minor V.4
1 Minor V.2
Status
signal 0
0 Minor V.1
The major version
number is output as a
five-bit binary value.
The Gateway version information is output.
You may need to check this information in
certain situations, such as when the Gateway
encountered a problem. Provide the
necessary wiring so that these signals can be
read by the PLC.
Example) If the version is 1.03, the major
version number is “1” (data: 001),
while the minor version number is
“3” (data: 00011).

0 LNK0 0
Link connection of an axis selected for link
connection by any one of CFG15 to 0 will
become enabled when the MON signal is
turned ON. The signal corresponding to each
axis whose link connection is enabled turns
ON.
