What is Network Interconnection? Section 7-1
7-1 What is Network Interconnection?
Network interconnection enables commands and responses for the message
service to be sent and received across multiple networks. The four networks
listed below can be interconnected to achieve this.
FA Networks
• SYSMAC NET Link Networks
• SYSMAC LINK Networks
• Controller Link Networks
OA Network
• Ethernet Networks
7-1-1 Interconnecting Controller Link Networks
Controller Link Networks can be connected through a CS/CJ-series, CVM1,
or CV-series PC.
7-1-2 Interconnecting Different Types of Networks
A CS/CJ-series, CVM1, or CV-series PC can be used to connect a Controller
Link Network with an Ethernet, SYSMAC NET, or SYSMAC LINK Network.
Note 1. A bridge is used between Communications Units to connect the same type
of networks.
2. A gateway is used between Communications Units to connect different
types of networks.
