Ethernet Connection

This type of connection allows one module to be connected to an Ethernet device without interfering with CC-Link IE TSN.

Connection with MELSOFT product

Programming and monitoring of the programmable controller are performed via Ethernet.
This function enables remote control using long-distance connectivity and high-speed communications via Ethernet.
This section describes the methods of connecting the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module to MELSOFT products (such as
engineering tool and MX Component).
: Connection available, : Connection not available
Connection method
Connection via a hub (Connection by specifying the IP
address)
Connection via a hub (Connection by specifying the
network number and station number)
• The station with a communication speed different from the station connected to the engineering tool cannot
be connected by specifying other station. The online and debug function of the engineering tool may not be
used.
• When a MELSOFT product is connected via the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module, a connection cannot be
established if another CC-Link IE TSN Plus module to which the same network number is set is mounted on
the same base unit (main base unit and extension base unit) as the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module used for
the connection.
• This function cannot be used when an Ethernet device is connected to the P2 side of the CC-Link IE TSN
Plus module.
