Connecting to the Network
Section 3-3
Also, if multiple PLCs (using Ethernet Units and DeviceNet Units) are con-
nected via Ethernet, connection can be made to a designated DeviceNet net-
work by switching the connection target. The IP address of the Ethernet Unit
and the unit number of the DeviceNet Unit are designated to register the
DeviceNet network to be connected.
Note
1.
DeviceNet networks can be switched by designating the registered name
for the network to be connected. The name of the DeviceNet network to be
connected can be registered as follows.
• Designate the IP address and UDP port number.
• Designate the DeviceNet Unit network address, node address, and Link
Unit number.
• Designate the FINS node address of the personal computer containing
the Configurator.
2.
Connection is not possible through the combination of a CVM1/CV Ether-
net Unit and CVM1/CV DeviceNet Unit. It is also not possible through the
combination of a C200HX/HG/HE PLC Card Unit (Ethernet Set) and
C200HX/HG/HE DeviceNet Master Unit.
3.
Configurator Ver. 2.10 allows Ethernet connection to the DeviceNet net-
work across one network level only. DeviceNet networks cannot be con-
nected to across multiple network levels. (For example, configurations
such as Ethernet
→
Controller Link
→
DeviceNet, or Host Link (Toolbus)
Ethernet
→
DeviceNet are not possible.)
With Configurator Ver. 2.11 or later, it is possible to cross network levels as
long as FINS message communications are supported by the networks.
Registering DeviceNet
Networks to Be
Connected
For connection via Ethernet, the DeviceNet network(s) to be connected must
be registered in advance. Up to 20 DeviceNet networks can be registered,
using the following procedure.
