Automatic restoration
of communication
If the number of retries exceeds the stipulated value (32 times), a disconnection flag will
be output. The system will enter resync mode
and synchronization will be established. Once
completed, the normal operating conditions
will be restored, the disconnection flag will be
canceled, and control will resume.

A stable wireless environment is established using an original
protocol which is not affected by interference. Interference from other
wireless equipment is prevented.
Frequency Hopping
The communication technology rapidly changes frequency (hopping), to
prevent interference from other wireless equipment. When the frequency of
Wi-Fi and other wireless communications compete, or radio wave interference
is present, then other frequencies are used for communication. For details,
refer to technical data on page 23.
High security using encryption

Wireless communication status can be monitored.
<Monitoring the remote communication status>
The wireless system connection can be monitored during operation
according to the diagnostic data.
The installation location can be ascertained according to the intensity
level of the radio wave received by the unit display.
[Diagnostic data]
* When communication from the remote cannot be received
* When communication retry has exceeded the upper limit (32 times)
[Unit display]
For Base
EtherNet/IP™
PROFINET
For remote
* A received radio wave intensity level of 1 means the intensity is weak. Add
a base so that the wave intensity becomes level 3 or 2. Alternatively
remove the obstacle between the base and remote, or reduce the distance
between the base and remote.
<Communication status can be downloaded by a PC>
By connecting the base to a PC, it is possible to view log files which show the number of
retries or the received radio wave intensity. Log files are accessed by using a web browser to
connect to the built-in web server. The wireless environment and installation location can be
optimized by checking the number of retries and received radio wave intensity.
