Network interconnection enables commands and responses for the message
service to be sent and received across multiple networks, including FA and OA
networks. The four networks listed below can be interconnected to achieve this.
• Controller Link Networks
• SYSMAC NET Link Networks
• SYSMAC LINK Networks
Ethernet
Controller Link Networks can be connected through CV-series PCs, CS1-series
PCs, or computers with FinsGateway.
Controller Link Network
CS1-series,
C200HX/HG/HE, or
CV-series PC
A data bridge is created between Controller Link
Note
Units/Boards mounted on the same PC or computer.
CV-series PCs, CS1-series PCs, or computers with FinsGateway can be used to
connect a Controller Link Network with a SYSMAC NET or SYSMAC LINK Net-
work.
Controller Link Network
CS1-series,
C200HX/HG/HE or
CV-series PC
A data and communications protocol gateway is created be-
Note
tween a Controller Link Unit and a SYSMAC NET or SYSMAC
LINK Unit mounted on the same PC or computer.
Note 1. A bridge is used between Communications Units/Boards to connect the
same type of networks.
2. A gateway is used between Communications Units/Boards to connect dif-
ferent types of networks.
