7-1 What is Network Interconnection?

Network interconnection enables commands and responses for the message service to be sent and received across multiple networks. The four networks listed below can be interconnected to achieve this.

FA Networks

•SYSMAC NET Link Networks

•SYSMAC LINK Networks

•Controller Link Networks

OA Network

• Ethernet Networks

7-1-1 Interconnecting Controller Link Networks

Controller Link Networks can be connected through a CS/CJ-series, CVM1, or CV-series PLC.

C200HX/HG/HE, CVM1,
	CV-series PLC (see note)
CV-series, or CQM1H PLC

Note A data bridge is created between Controller Link Units mounted on the same CS/CJ-series, CVM1, or CV-series PLC.

7-1-2 Interconnecting Different Types of Networks

A CS/CJ-series, CVM1, or CV-series PLC can be used to connect a Controller

Link Network with an Ethernet, SYSMAC NET, or SYSMAC LINK Network.

CV-series, or CQM1H PLC

Note A data and communications protocol gateway is created between a Controller Link Unit and an Ethernet, SYSMAC NET, or SYSMAC LINK Unit mounted to the same CS/CJ-series, CVM1, or CV-series PLC.

Note 1. A bridge is used between Communications Units to connect the same type of networks.

2.A gateway is used between Communications Units to connect different types of networks.
