4.5 MELSECNET/H and MELSECNET/10 Connections
(Network Systems)
This section explains the MELSECNET/H and MELSECNET/10 connections (network systems) that connect the GOT to
the MELSECNET/H and MELSECNET/10 network system.
The following provides an example of connecting the GOT set as a normal station to the MELSECNET/ H network
system.
(1) Connection method
Connect the MELSECNET/H network system to the GOT.
For details, refer to the following.
9. MELSECNET/H CONNECTION (PLC TO PLC NETWORK)
(2) GT Designer3 setting
Set GT Designer3 as follows.
(3) Monitoring target change when system switching occurs in a redundant system
When system switching occurs, the network module station No. 2 changes from the normal station to the sub
control station and takes over the control of the MELSECNET/H network system.
Since the GOT monitors the control system, the monitoring target is automatically changed to the network
module station No. 2.
POINTPOINTPOINT
To monitor the control system without Q redundant setting
When system switching occurs, the network module station No. 2 changes from the normal station to the sub
control station and takes over the control of the MELSECNET/H network system.
Since the GOT monitors the station of the specified station number, the monitoring target cannot be changed to the
station No. 2 in response to the system switching.
As a countermeasure, create a screen to monitor the PLC CPU of the control system by switching the station
numbers between System A and System B using the script function.
