Chapter 4 Direct Connection To Programming Tool; (Simple Connection) - Mitsubishi MELSEC L Series User Manual

CHAPTER 4
The CPU module can be directly connected to the programming tool with an Ethernet cable, without using a hub

(simple connection).

For direct connection, the IP address and host name need not be specified in the connection target setting.
(Simultaneous broadcast is used.)
An Ethernet cable used for direct connection will be longer compared with the case of using a USB cable. This can cause an
unauthorized connection from a remote location.
Unauthorized connections can be prevented by selecting the following option in the Built-in Ethernet port tab of the PLC
parameter dialog box.
