CT Net Interface for Unidrive

UD75
CTNet is a high speed communications network and protocol, that allows large amounts of data to be transferred quickly between network nodes. CTNet is a de-centralized "peer-to-peer" system, requiring no master PLC controller, with each node taking its turn to control the network, and communicate directly with other network nodes.
Supplied as the large option module
Fully UD70 functionality is retained, allowing a fully distributed
control system to be implemented
Supports data rates up to 5.0 Mbits/sec
"Peer-to-peer" communications system allows every node to transmit data to other nodes on the
network
No master controller required. Co-processor provides local intelligence using SYPT programs.
"Easy Mode" set-up allows cyclic data transfer of upto 3 parameters in and out, to be configured 
using drive parameters from keypad
Full cyclic and non-cyclic transfers are configurable from SYPT
Fast cyclic data channel, transmits data on a configurable timebase, ranging from 1 ms to 99 ms
Slow cyclic data channel, transmits data every 2 to 19 cycles of the fast data channel
Up to 10 cyclic data links may be defined per node
Non-cyclic data channel allows a periodic communications between any two nodes
Cyclic and non-cyclic data can be "broadcast" to all other nodes
Up to 20 registers may be transferred on a single fast or slow data link
Network
RS485 transformer-isolated physical layer
Data rates from 1.25 Mbits/sec to 5.0 Mbits/sec
Up to 100m network length at 5.0 Mbits/sec
Up to 200m network length at 2.5 Mbits/sec
Up to 20 nodes without network repeaters
