Communications Using The Engineering Tool - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series User Manual

Communications using the engineering tool

This type of communications are used to configure the settings of or monitor each station using the engineering tool.
It allows seamless communications with stations on different types networks.
• Communications can be made with stations up to eight networks apart (number of relay stations: 7).
• There are restrictions in communication paths when communicating by the motion control setting function.
For details, refer to "Communication with the engineering tool" (in the chapter of the control mode used) of
the following manual.

When the networks consist of only MELSEC iQ-R series
Communication paths are automatically set for communications with the following networks of MELSEC iQ-R series.
• Ethernet
• CC-Link IE TSN
• CC-Link IE Controller Network
• CC-Link IE Field Network
■ Setting method
Check that "Dynamic Routing" in "Application Settings" is set to "Enable".
• Communication paths are automatically set, but they can also be manually set. (Page 61 When the
networks consist of MELSEC iQ-R series and other series)
• The communication path cannot be set automatically for Ethernet-equipped modules connected via a
router. Set the communication path manually. (Page 61 When the networks consist of only MELSEC iQ-
R series)
When the networks consist of MELSEC iQ-R series and other series
Setting communication paths allow communications with the following networks configured with modules other than MELSEC
iQ-R series.
• Ethernet
• CC-Link IE Controller Network
• CC-Link IE Field Network
• MELSECNET/H
• MELSECNET/10
■ Setting method
Set communication paths in "Routing Setting" of "CPU Parameter". ( MELSEC iQ-R CPU Module User's Manual
(Application))
Communication test
This test checks if transient transmission data can be properly routed from the own station to the communication target.
