APPENDIX 1.6 MC Protocol Communication

PERIPHERAL I/F of the Motion controller enables communication using the MC
(Note-1)
protocol .
External devices such as personal computers and display devices read/write device
data from/to the Motion controller using the MC protocol.
External devices monitor the operation of the Motion controller, analyze data, and
manage production by reading/writing device data.
REMARK
(Note-1): The MC protocol is an abbreviation for the MELSEC communication
protocol.
The MELSEC communication protocol is a name of the communication
method used to access CPU modules from external devices in accordance
with the communication procedure of Q-series programmable controllers
(such as serial communication modules, Ethernet modules).
For details on the MC protocol, refer to the "Q Corresponding MELSEC
Communication Protocol Reference Manual".
POINT
External devices such as personal computers and display devices can
communicate with only the Motion controller connected by Ethernet using the MC
protocol.
An access to any of the CPU modules on another station via network is not
available.
