Networking

A simple and easy network connection is provided!
A built-in function in the controller eliminates the need for a converter and makes wiring simple.

Modbus TCP/IP, a protocol that allows the controller to connect to any Ethernet network and have the ability to exchange data with the computers or devices on that network.
• Allows control devices to be integrated into an application simply.
• Works with any Modbus TCP/IP compliant software.
• Support for Modbus function codes 03, 06, 08 & 16.
• Gateway function allows RS-485 Modbus devices to communicate via Ethernet.
• Reduced labor costs in wiring and setup of a communications network.
• Physical Layer: 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX
• Maximum number of connection: 2

The data of UTAdvanced (slave units) can be displayed and saved on the DXAdvanced using
the Modbus RTU function.

Embedded open networks will provide direct connection to PLC’s.
• Reads data from UTAdvanced
• Writes parameter setting value to UTAdvanced

Example:

The use of the ladder sequence program makes it possible to exchange analog data and status data between communication-capable UTAdvanced.
Example: A UTAdvanced in which an input error occurs sends a signal to another UTAdvanced to enable that UTAdvanced switch to MAN operation, thus shifting the whole system into a safe mode. In such a case, the safety mechanism can be built into the UTAdvanced and is not required in the host system.

In coordinated operation, a single UTAdvanced controller is used as a master controller and multiple UTAdvanced or other UTAdvanced digital indicating controllers as slave controllers.
The slave controllers are operated in accordance with the actions of the master controller.

A protocol used for communicating with a general-purpose personal computer, or UTAdvanced series link module and serial　communication module of FA-M3R (range-free controller).
