FL-net system with MELSEC iQ-R series products

MELSEC iQ-R series products manufactured by Mitsubishi are available for constructing an FL-net (OPCN-2) system.
The FL-net (OPCN-2) can be interconnected to devices such as programmable controllers,computerized numerical controllers (CNC),
and personal computers which are manufactured by various manufacturers,providing control and monitoring.

Overview
  • Two types of communication functions to match the application
    • Common memory function that uses cyclic transmission to allow each node to always share the same data
    • Message communication function that allows only the required data to be exchanged when needed


  • Easy programming
  • The module supports the functions of GX Works3 manufactured by Mitsubishi,making programming easier.
    • Event history
    • Module diagnostics
    • Intelligent function module monitor
    • Module label
    • Module FB (Function block)
  • Masterless and large-scale network
  • Absence of a master enables each node to connect or disconnect to the network, without affecting the communication of the other nodes.

    In addition, the nodes can be powered on/off or maintained freely, and a maximum of 254 modules (*1) can be connected to the network.

    *1 Of the 254 modules, 249 can be used for control.
    The remaining five modules are assigned for failure diagnosis.
