FL-net (OPCN-2)
• FL-net (OPCN-2) is an open FA network that FA Open Systems Promotion Forum
(JOP) of the Manufacturing Science and Technology Center, an affiliated organization
of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, has standardized.
It is possible to connect FA controllers and computers, such as programmable
controllers (PLCs) or NC controllers (CNCs), of different manufacturers as shown below
for control and monitoring.
• To use FL-net (OPCN-2) communications on the V7 series, the communication
interface unit “CU-03” must be mounted. When the V7 series is equipped with the
communication interface unit CU-03, it becomes an FL-net (OPCN-2)-ready device.
• When CU-03 is mounted for FL-net (OPCN-2) communications on V7i, the 10BASE-T
connector (LAN) provided on the unit cannot be used. Consequently, it is not possible
to use FL-net (OPCN-2) communications and Ethernet communications at the same
time.
• When transferring screen data, use the 10BASE-T connector on the communication
interface unit CU-03. Be sure to set the IP address, etc. on the Main Menu and
Ethernet screens. For the setting procedure, refer to “Chapter 2 MONITOUCH
Operations.” For data transfer, refer to page 4-9.
