(2) GT15
For GT15, the combinations of the bus, network, or Ethernet connection and the serial
connection are available as shown in the following table.
Bus / network / Ethernet connection
• Bus connection
• MELSECNET/H connection (programmable controller to
programmable controller network)
• MELSECNET/10 connection (programmable controller to
programmable controller network)
• CC-Link IE controller network connection
• CC-Link connection (intelligent device station)
• Ethernet connection
• Third party programmable controller connection (Ethernet connection)
• MODBUS
/TCP connection
• Robot controller connection
• CNC connection (MELSECNET/10 connection (programmable
controller to programmable controller network), CC-Link connection
(intelligent device station), Ethernet connection)
The number of channels and the functions that can be used differ depending on the GOT to be used.
