*1 When connecting STARDOM to MODBUS
For details, refer to the following manual.
*2 To connect a GOT to a PLC, connect to the PCL Ethernet port via a hub.
Use cables, connectors, and hubs that meet the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standard.
*3 A length between a hub and a node.
The maximum distance differs depending on the Ethernet device to be used.
The following shows the number of the connectable nodes when a repeater hub is used.
• 10BASE-T: Max. 4 nodes for a cascade connection (500m)
• 100BASE-TX: Max. 2 nodes for a cascade connection (205m)
When switching hubs are used, the cascade connection between the switching hubs has no logical limit for the number of
cascades.
For the limit, contact the switching hub manufacturer.
*4 Use the straight cable.
The use of shielded twisted pair cable (STP) is recommended in environments in which the performance against noise is required.
*5 Use C or later version of GT11H-C-37P.

PLC side setting
Make the communication settings as shown below. For
details of the communication settings, refer to the
peripheral software manual for YOKOGAWA PLC.
POINT POINT POINT
Connection between STARDOM and the PC for
communication settings
For the communication settings of STARDOM,
STARDOM and the PC for communication settings
must be connected to Ethernet using the Resource
Configurator (peripheral software).
