Connecting To Melsec Programmable Controllers; Features Achieved By The Connection - Mitsubishi Electric Melsec WS Series User Manual

Connecting to MELSEC programmable controllers

7. Connecting to MELSEC programmable controllers
This chapter describes how to exchange non-safety related data (input/output data)
between the MELSEC-WS safety controller and MELSEC programmable controllers
via TCP/IP.
In this or later chapters, each Ethernet interface module in a MELSEC-WS safety
controller system and MELSEC programmable controller system is referred to as
follows:
 Ethernet interface module in a MELSEC-WS safety controller system → WS0-
GETH

MELSEC QJ71E71-100 Ethernet interface module in a MELSEC programmable
controller system → QJ71E71-100

7.1 Features achieved by the connection

MELSEC programmable controllers can acquire MELSEC-WS safety controller
information over Ethernet.
The QJ71E71-100 connected to a MELSEC programmable controller or the Built-in
Ethernet port QCPU can read MESLEC-WS safety controller information (e.g.
operation results of the CPU module, safety input/output data) over Ethernet.
Two communication modes are available: polling mode and auto update mode.
