Ethernet Connection

This type of connection allows one module to be connected to an Ethernet device without interfering with CC-Link IE TSN.

Connection with MELSOFT products and a GOT

Programming and monitoring of the programmable controller using the engineering tool, and monitoring and testing of the
programmable controller from the GOT are performed via Ethernet. This function enables remote control using long-distance
connectivity and high-speed communications via Ethernet.
This section describes the methods of connecting the RJ71GN11-T2 to MELSOFT products (such as engineering tool and MX
Component) and a GOT.

For the procedures to connect the RJ71GN11-T2 and a GOT, refer to the following.
 Manual for the GOT used
• The station with a communication speed different from the station connected to the engineering tool cannot
be connected by specifying other station. The online and debug function of the engineering tool may not be
used.
• When a MELSOFT product or GOT is connected via the RJ71GN11-T2, a connection cannot be established
if another RJ71GN11-T2 to which the same network number is set is mounted on the same base unit (main
base unit and extension base unit) as the RJ71GN11-T2 used for the connection.
Connection to use
The system dedicated connection used is a MELSOFT communications port (UDP/IP) or a MELSOFT communications port
(TCP/IP).
For the port number used and the number of simultaneous open connections (maximum number of connections), refer to the
following.
