Network Communication
Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F 239
Example 2
This Ethernet network is designed for several controllers and operator panels in a net-
work. The controllers in this example use different drivers, driver X and driver Y.
Panel 1 (192.168.1.1)
The operator panel 1 is a server/client with the driver X and therefore has access to
data from all servers with the same driver, as well as being able to provide data to oth-
er clients with the same driver. The operator panel 1 can access the connected Con-
troller X1. The operator panel 1 cannot access the operator panel 2 due to different
driver, and neither can it access the operator panel 4 which is set up as a client, not a
server. This means that the operator panel 1 can access the controllers X1 and X2.
Panel 2 (192.168.1.2)
The operator panel 2 is a server with the driver Y, which can provide data to clients
with the same driver. The operator panel 2 also has access to the connected Control-
ler Y1. However, the operator panel 2 cannot access any other operator panels since
it is only set up to be a server, not a client. This means that the operator panel 2 only
has access to the local Controller Y1.
Panel 3 (192.168.1.3)
The operator panel 3 is a server/client with the driver X and therefore has access to
data from all servers with the same driver, as well as being able to provide data to oth-
er clients with the same driver. The operator panel 3 has access to the connected Con-
troller X2. The operator panel 3 cannot access the operator panel 2 due to the
different driver, and neither can it access the operator panel 4 which is set up as a cli-
ent, not a server. This means that the operator panel 3 can access the controllers X1
and X2.
