What Is the Controller Link?
The Controller Link is an FA network that can send and receive large data
packets flexibly and easily among advanced OMRON Programmable Control-
lers (CS-series, CJ-series, C200HX/HG/HE-series, CQM1H-series, CVM1,
and CV-series PCs) and IBM PC/AT or compatible computers.
The Controller Link supports data links that enable data sharing and a mes-
sage service that enables sending and receiving data when required. Data
link areas can be freely set to create a flexible data link system and effectively
use data areas.
The network is connected using either shielded twisted-pair cable or optical
fiber cable, and high-volume data transmissions at high speed enable con-
struction of a wide range of networks, from low-level systems to high.
Wired System
