Ethernet Connection

This type of connection allows one module to be connected to an Ethernet device without interfering with CC-Link IE TSN.

Connection with MELSOFT products and a GOT

Programming and monitoring of the programmable controller with the engineering tool, and monitoring and testing of the
programmable controller from the GOT is performed via Ethernet. This function enables remote control using Ethernet's long-
distance connectivity and high-speed communications.
This section describes the methods of connecting the Motion module, MELSOFT product (such as engineering tool and MX
Component), and GOT.

For the procedures to connect the Motion module and a GOT, refer to the following.
 Manual for the GOT used
• The station with a communication speed different from the station connected to the engineering tool cannot
be connected by specifying other station. The online and debug function of the engineering tool may not be
used.
• When connecting a MELSOFT product or GOT via the Motion module, if another Motion module set to the
same network No. is mounted on the same base unit (basic base unit and extension base unit) of the
Motion module to be passed through, connection cannot be performed.
Connection to use
The system dedicated connection used is a MELSOFT communications port (UDP/IP) or a MELSOFT communications port
(TCP/IP).
For the port number used and the number of simultaneous open connections (maximum number of connections), refer to the
