Ethernet Connection
Enables direct connection to personal
computers or information networks with open protocol: Ethernet/IP or
FINS protocol.
Controller Link (Fiber
Optic)
High-speed Optical LAN with a
transmission rate of 2 Mbps allows easy data exchange among PLC and a
wide range of FA across 30 km.
Ethernet/IP
With Ethernet as the backbone
architecture, optical switches can be used to extend network of 100
Mbps with easy data sharing among PLCs.
Controller Link (Wired)
Allows high-speed, large capacity data
link with cost-saving wiring, data can be shared among 62 nodes in
total.
PC Link (1:1, 1:N)
Easy and low-cost communication between
PLCs of limited data capacity.
DeviceNet
Open network, which connects a variety
of components such as drivers, temperature controller and etc. with
Smart Features built with totalization and signal indication for
maintenance.
CompoNet
Next generation network is ideal for high-speed ON/OFF bus for machinery system. With communication cycle time less than 1 ms connecting up to 1.5 km.
