Setting up Melsec iQ-R Ethernet Module: RJ71EN71 for programmative communication connection via GX Works3.
Background
In this article, we will be looking at Setting up Melsec iQ-R Ethernet Module: RJ71EN71 for programmative communication connection via GX Works3.
Introduction
Apart from the built-in onboard Ethernet programming port - one can also use the RJ71EN71 ethernet module for programmative connection.
When referring to programmative connection, we mean a Programming Machine with GX Works3.
The following applies.
The RJ71EN71 Ethernet Module
The following is the RJ71EN71 Ethernet Module
There are two ports available for use there.
RJ71EN71 Configuration Setup
This module can be configured as follows:
Note:
It is indeed possible to have multiple devices connecting to this same port - simultaneously, e.g. GX Works3 programming device, SCADA, GOT, VFD, etc.
As such the introduction of an external switch can be applied.
