Instrumentation solution (MELSEC instrumentation)

Network unit

MELSEC iQ-R series and MELSEC-Q series systems can be built using the industrial open network CC-Link IE. Since the network is based on Ethernet, you can use commercially available Ethernet devices for cables and connectors. A flexible system can be constructed by supporting topologies such as star type, line type, and ring type. In a redundant system, you can build a highly reliable network that reduces the number of single points due to line redundancy using CC-Link IE Field Network and remote heads.

Intelligent HUB NZ2MHG-T8F2

CC-Link IE devices and general-purpose Ethernet devices can be mixed ERP function and LA function support make the path between HUBs redundant, so that even if a network failure such as cable disconnection occurs, the path can be switched and communication can be continued

The use of SFP modules * 1 enables the use of optical fiber cables that allow long-distance wiring, so it can be used in systems that require long-distance communication, such as between factories.
Multiple networks can be mixed and built with one HUB by supporting the VLAN function


Long-distance communication with SFP (optical fiber port) support

Since the cable length can be extended with optical fiber cables, long-distance communication between factories and the like is possible.

* 1. Only one of the optical fiber port (OPT1 / OPT2) and RJ45 port (P1 / P2) can be used.
