Micro or Premium PLCs, equipped with a TSX FPP 10 PCMCIA card on their built-in communication channel act as agents on the Fipio bus.
The Fipio Agent function can be used for two types of data exchange:
-
periodic exchanges of information with the manager (of shared variable type),
-
aperiodic message exchanges with the manager or with other agents.
NOTE: This function is available with version V1.9 or later of the TSX FPP 10 card.
NOTE: The periodic cycle time of Fipio agents must be at least 5ms but the value depends on the configuration.
