[New Features]

(1) Increased range of connections to match the system configuration.

With the introduction of the 10BASE-T connection Ethernet interface module (hereinafter, Ethernet
module), the PLC and personal computer can now be connected with 10BASE5, 10BASE2, or 10BASE-T.

(2) High-speed internal processing

With the Ethernet module's faster internal processing, the PLC responds much faster when exchanging
data with an external device.

The following table shows the minimum transmission delay time (reference value) on the PLC side when
using each communication function.
(This is based on the PLC CPU scan time of 10ms.)

Data communic at i on i s enabled over a network system where
Ethernet and MELSECNET/10 or m ul tiple Ethernet networks are
present.
Communicates data via routers and gateways. (Ethernet module
does not function as a router.)
Checks whether or not the external device operates normally after
communicati on has been established (open process i ng).
Receiving connection and transmitting connecti on are opened as a
single pair. (For fixed buffer com munication.)
Communication is enabled automaticall y af t er i n i t i al processing is

by a sequence program is unneces sary.)
Data is broadcasted simultaneously to all st ations on the same
Ethernet network where the Ethernet module i s located. (Using
