*3 A length between a hub and a node.

The maximum distance differs depending on the Ethernet device to be used.

The following shows the number of the connectable nodes when a repeater hub is used.

•10BASE-T: Max. 4 nodes for a cascade connection (500m)

•100BASE-TX: Max. 2 nodes for a cascade connection (205m)

When switching hubs are used, the cascade connection between the switching hubs has no logical limit for the number of cascades.

For the limit, contact the switching hub manufacturer.

*4 For the system configuration of the Ethernet module, refer to the following manuals.

*5 Select one of the following [Controller Type] in [Ethernet] of GT Designer3.

•Ethernet module (Q Series): QJ71E71

•Ethernet module (QnA Series): AJ71QE71

•Ethernet module (A Series): AJ71QE71

For [Ethernet] of GT Designer3, refer to the following. 8.3.3 Ethernet setting

*6 When using the peripheral I/F of Q170MCPU, Q17nDCPU-S1 or MR-MQ100, refer to the following.

8.2.5 Connecting to PERIPHERAL I/F (Built-in Ethernet port Motion Controller CPU) *7 The number of connectable GOTs for one network is 63 units (at most).

*8 GT14 models compatible with Ethernet connection are only GT1455-QTBDE and GT1450-QLBDE. *9 GT14 cannot be connected with MELSEC-QS.
