Function and Working Principle
The NFLR121 serves as the serial communication interface between Yokogawa controllers and external industrial devices. It receives, transmits, and manages serial data, allowing controllers to exchange information with third-party equipment and intelligent field devices.
The module processes incoming serial data, transfers it to the controller for processing, and sends controller commands back to connected devices through the serial communication interface.
Operating Sequence
- External devices transmit serial data to the NFLR121.
- The module receives and buffers incoming communication.
- Data is transferred to the controller for processing.
- The controller executes the application program.
- Response data is transmitted back to connected devices.
Key Features
