When connecting the GOT and PC with Ethernet
PLC
Varies according to
the connection type
PLC
Connection type
For the system configuration between
the GOT and PLC, refer to the following.
DIRECT CONNECTION TO CPU
*1 The destination connected with the twisted pair cable varies with the configuration of the applicable Ethernet network system.
Connect to the Ethernet module, hub, transceiver, or other system equipment corresponding to the applicable Ethernet network
system.
Use cables, connectors, and hubs that meet the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standards.
A cross cable is available for connecting the GOT to the Ethernet module.
*2 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.
*3 The motion controller CPU (MELSEC iQ-R Series) does not support the direct CPU connection.
