18.7.4Ethernet connection

Via network system

GOT with Ethernet communication cannot access the CNCs in another network via the CNC (network module, Ethernet module, etc.).

When connecting to multiple GOTs

When connecting two or more GOTs in the Ethernet network, set each [PLC No.] to the GOT.

18.4.1 Setting communication interface (Communication settings)

When connecting to the multiple network equipment (including GOT) in a segment

By increasing the network load, the transmission speed between the GOT and CNC may be reduced.

The following actions may improve the communication performance.

Using a switching hub

More high speed by 100BASE-TX (100Mbps)

Reduction of the monitoring points on GOT

Ethernet cable connection

Ethernet cable is so susceptible to noise that you should wire power cables and electric supply cables separately. And you need to attach a ferrite core (attachment) on the control unit side.

For details of the Ethernet cable connection, refer to the following
