ALE111-S50  Model ALE111 Ethernet Communication Module

This document describes about Model ALE111 Ethernet Communication Module (for FIO) that a field control station
(FCS) uses to perform Ethernet communication with subsystems such as FA-M3. This Ethernet communication
module can be mounted on field control units (AFV30, AFV40, AFV10, and AFF50), ESB bus node unit
(ANB10), optical ESB bus node unit (ANB11), and ER bus node unit (ANR10).

The Ethernet communication module runs on the following FCS.
AFV30S, AFV30D, AFV40S, AFV40D, AFV10S, AFV10D,
AFS30S, AFS30D, AFS40S, AFS40D,
AFG30S, AFG30D, AFG40S, AFG40D,
AFG81S, AFG81D, AFG82S, AFG82D, AFG83S, AFG83D, AFG84S, AFG84D,
AFF50S, and AFF50D
Software Requirements
The Ethernet communication module runs on the control functions of the following FCS.
LFS1700 Control Function for Field Control Station (for AFV30/AFV40, Vnet/IP and FIO):
for AFV30/AFV40
LFS1500 Control Function for Field Control Station (for AFV10, Vnet/IP and FIO): for AFV10
LFS1300 Control Function for Standard Field Control Station (for V net and FIO): for AFS30/AFS40
LFS1330 Control Function for Enhanced Field Control Station (for V net and FIO):
for AFG30/AFG40/AFG8
LFS1350 Control Function for Compact Field Control Station (for V net and FIO): for AFF50
Engineering Requirements
Works on LHS5100/LHMS5100 Standard Builder Function.

The Ethernet communication module communicates with subsystems at the specified intervals and stores the
subsystem data in the communication modules’ I/O image. FCS accesses the communication module asynchronously
from them, and refers to or sets the I/O image. This enables FCS to use the subsystem data through the I/O terminals
of the function block in the same way as the general analog and digital I/O signals.
