Usage Example
With only one port
V8i is allowed to perform Ethernet communication with PLCs of different manufacturers (PLC for unit A
and PLC for unit B) on a LAN (IP address: 192.168.1.xxx) inside the factory.
With two ports
By mounting an Ethernet unit on the present V8i, a new network can be additionally established
without the need for changing the current Ethernet network. As a result, a LAN can easily be designed
in the office so as to enable the computer installed in the office to monitor the factory.
