Ethernet is a platform for a very wide range of data communications protocols.The combination of Ethernet and the extremely widespread TCP/IP protocol enables high-speed data communications between process supervision and the MELSEC PLC Series.The MELSEC PLC compatible Ethernet modules also provide FTP server functionality, in addition to the normal TCP/IP communications services. This means that a personal computer running standard communications software can read from and write to the PLC CPU sequence program via the Internet.
There is also a growing demand for Ethernet to be used as a peer-to-peer network. We recognise this important customer requirement and provide peer-to-peer communication with our Ethernet solutions.
Highlights:
- Up to 100 Mbps communication
- Monitor / program online
- Allows connection to PC, PLC and other third party devices
- Preferred connection method for SCADA
