6.2 Redundant System Network Overview
A redundant system can be applied to the following seven networks.
(Network modules must be mounted on the main base units.)
• CC-Link IE Controller Network
• MELSECNET/H PLC to PLC network
• MELSECNET/H Remote I/O network
• MELSECNET/10 PLC to PLC network
*1
• Ethernet
• CC-Link
• PROFIBUS-DP
* 1: When connecting to MELSECNET/10 PLC to PLC network in redundant system, set
MELSECNET/H to MELSECNET/10 mode. For details, refer to the following manual.
Q Corresponding MELSECNET/H Network System Reference Manual
(PLC to PLC network)
The above networks can continue the data link and communication with external devices,
even when an error occurs in the control system.
However, system switching does not occur when an error occurs in the CC-Link. The
system switching-dedicated instruction is necessary to perform system switching.
Refer to the corresponding network manual, for details of the network used.
The network modules for networks other than the abovementioned and serial
communication modules, etc., cannot be mounted on a main base unit for redundant
system.
Mount them to the remote I/O station or extension base unit in the MELSECNET/H
Remote I/O network.
