MININET communication

MININET communication is only supported on serial devices. Serial communication can be operated as a point-to-point connection (RS232) or as a network connection (RS485).

MININET is a master/slave protocol where the PVI MININET line carries out the functions of the master. A multi-master function is not possible via the MININET protocol.

PC requirements:

All necessary components are installed with PVI Setup.

The MININET line can be operated on the following platforms:

Windows platform

Limitations

Windows 7 or higher

-

Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista

No verification for Windows NT/2000 in PVI V4.0 or higher.

Requirements for SG2 controllers (MULTI/MIDI/MINI and Compact):

B&R standard software (model number: SWSPSCOM01-0 for 3.5")

Requirements for SG3/SG4 controllers (System 2000):

PLC operating system V1.91 and higher

dvframe.br starting from V3.30 (included starting with PG2000 V2.39 / model no. 1A2000.01)

drv_mn.slb starting from V1.30 (model number: 1A2224.01)

RS485 network:

A maximum of 32 stations can be connected to a bus.

Executed as an RS485 twisted pair cable, shielded. Cross-section: min. 0.5 mm². Wave impedance: 120 ohms. Terminating resistor: 120 ohms on both ends. Length: maximum 1,200 meters. Maximum line resistance: 50 ohms per wire.

The cabling for the RS485 network can only be made using a bus structure. The bus connection can be made either directly or using a maximum 0,25 m long branch line.
