Product Description
G 3496 0009 is designed as
a cost-effective solution for
interfacing Dupline® I/O’s to
the Matsushita FP PLC family.
It performs three functions:
Dupline® channel generator,
power supply synchroniza-
tion (enables 3-wire system
with supply) and RS232/
RS422/RS485 interface.

Mode of Operation
The Dupline® Master Module
(DMM) controls a 3-wire bus
with signal, DC-power and
common GND. The DMM
is connected to a standard
DC-supply, which it synchron-
izes with the Dupline® carrier
signal before it is outputted to
supply. The synchronization is
necessary in order to enable
the Dupline® and DC-supply to
share the GND-wire.
The Dupline® Master Module is
a Dupline® Channel Generator
with the function of a mas-
ter. This means that the 128
Dupline® I/O’s will be read/
written by the DMM and then
sent to the PLC.
The DMM can run in two dif-
ferent modes – Normal mode
and split I/O mode. In Normal
mode, Dupline® operates as
a peer-to-peer system, where
the channel generator auto-
matically establishes a con-
nection between Dupline®
inputs and Dupline® outputs
which are coded to the same
Dupline® address. If e.g. an
input coded for B5 is activat-
ed, the output(s) coded for B5
will also be activated.
Consequently, a Dupline®-
output can either be activat-
ed through the output-data
received on DMM or by an
active Dupline® input coded for
the same Dupline®-address. In
“Split I/O” mode, the channel
generator treats the Dupline®
inputs and Dupline® outputs
independently. If e.g. an input
coded for B5 is activated, the
DMM will make the informa-
tion available for the PLC (like
in normal mode), but it will
not automatically activate the
Dupline® output(s) coded to
B5. The Dupline® outputs are
controlled exclusively through
the output data received from
the PLC. In this mode, up
to 128 Dupline® inputs and
128 Dupline® outputs are
available, since an input and
an output coded to the same
Dupline® address can operate
independently.
