Precautions
Precautions on system
The target device of an Ethernet cable differs depending on the Ethernet network system configuration to
be used.
Connect the cable to the system devices, including robot controllers, and hubs, according to the Ethernet
network system to be used.
Communication via network system
A GOT cannot access a programmable controller on other network via a programmable controller (the
network module, Ethernet module, and others) on the network where the GOT is connected.
When connecting multiple network devices (including a GOT) to the same segment
When multiple network devices (including a GOT) are connected to the same segment, the network load
may increase, and the communication speed may slow down between the GOT and a programmable
controller. The following actions can improve the communication performance.
• Use a switching hub.
• Use the high-speed 100BASE-TX (100Mbps).
• Reduce the GOT monitoring points.
Applicable range for monitoring
A GOT can monitor a programmable controller on the network where the GOT is connected and on the
other networks. The routing parameter setting is required when monitoring a programmable controller
CPU on the other networks.
