Connect from the computer's COM port through a CS/CJ-series PLC.
(This connection is possible when a CS/CJ-series DeviceNet (Master)
Unit is being used.)
Connect from the computer's Ethernet port through a CS/CJ-series
PLC's Ethernet.
(This connection is possible when a CS/CJ-series DeviceNet (Master)
Unit is being used.)
Using a dedicated interface: Connect directly to DeviceNet.
• Operates as one node on the Network, requires one node address,
and only one Configurator can be connected to the Network.
• The Configurator can be disconnected from the Network after remote I/
O has been allocated.
Using a serial or Ethernet connection:
• Possible only when a CS/CJ-series DeviceNet (Master) Unit is being
used.
• A DeviceNet node address is not required. (Connects through the
DeviceNet (Master) Unit.)
• A node address is not allocated, so the Configurator can be connected
or disconnected freely. (There are some limitations compared to a
direct DeviceNet connection through a dedicated interface. For exam-
ple, the refreshing interval for PV monitoring is much slower that it is
with a direct connection.)
DeviceNet
• Remote I/O
Master/Slave connection (Poll, Bit-strobe, COS, or Cyclic)
• Explicit messages
Explicit connection
Both conform to DeviceNet specifications.
Combination of multi-drop and T-branch connections (for trunk and drop
lines)
500 Kbps, 250 Kbps, or 125 Kbps (switchable)
Special 5-wire cables (2 signal lines, 2 power lines, and 1 shield line)
• Thick Cable: DCA2-5C10 (100 m)
• Thin Cable: DCA1-5C10 (100 m)
