Applicable Connection Type Between The Got And The Plc Cpu - Mitsubishi Electric Fatec GOT2000 Series Basic Training Textbook

1.6 Applicable connection type between the GOT
and the PLC CPU
The GOT can perform monitoring by connecting it to the PLC using the following connection types.
Therefore, the connection type suitable for the system configuration or usage can be selected.
(1) Ethernet connection
GOT can be connected to the Ethernet connection.
The networks can be configured with commercially available products such as hubs and cables.
GOT
(2) Direct CPU connection
Direct CPU connection is a method using a RS-232/RS-422 to connect a GOT.
Because no other equipment is required to connect the GOT to the PLC, this is the most economical connection
type.
PLC
(3) Computer link connection
Computer link connection is a method using a computer link module or a serial communication module mounted
together with a PLC CPU.
Connection of multiple GOTs is available depending on the model type of the computer link module or the serial
communication module mounted with the PLC CPU.
