KEYENCE KV Mode1. Overview This driver provides the software interface and communication protocol between XPanel and Keyence KV series PLCs. It supports the following families of Keyence PLCs. KV-10, KV-16, KV-24, KV-40 KV-300 with KV-L2 in KV mode 2. Communication Setup : XPanel (1) Create a new device. For creating a new device activate the menu ‘Tools’->’I/O Devices’ or bar. Following picture shows the first step of creating a new device. icon in tool- I/O Device Name Give a device name. This name will be used in the TAG configuration window of database accompanied by the ‘Station Name’. KEYENCE KV Mode - 1 2 . the ‘Station No’ field of below has to be assigned as the number of PLCs station number. Station Name Give a name to the PLC. The ‘Peer to Peer (1:1)’ can be chosen when the case of RS232C network. In this case. In this dialog box. select the ‘Device Type’ as ‘KEYENCE PLC (KV mode)’ and configure the proper serial communication parameters. Station Type Choose one of following two network types : Multi-Drop (1:n) Peer to Peer (1:1) The ‘Multi-Drop (1:n)’ can be chosen when the case of RS422/485 network. This name will be used in the database window accompanied with the ‘Device Name’. In this window.(2) Select a network type : ‘KEYENCE PLC (KV mode)’ After selecting the ‘OK’ button of previous step. KEYENCE KV Mode . all the connected PLC stations can be configured and registered to the XPanel. Each field can be configured with following rules. The ‘Station No’ field has no meaning in this network. ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ dialog box will be popped up as shown in following picture. (3) Create a station Move to the ‘Station’ tab of ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ dialog box. Only when there is data transmit (writing a TAG value to the station) error. the notification message is popped up.3 . Specify a decimal number between 0 and 9. Error Message Pop Up If this item is checked. KEYENCE KV Mode . Station No. Comm. This is effective only when the ‘Station Type’ of above is set as ‘Multi-Drop (1:n)’. XPanel displays a communication error notification message at every Rx and Tx error.Network ID This field has no effect. 32Bit Data Swap This field has no effect Using Checksum This field has no effect. This message box will be closed automatically about 5 seconds after. XPanel does not display the message at data receive error. 16Bit Data Swap This field has no effect. Otherwise(unchecked). Internal AUX.4 . FLOAT) data types are not supported.
