I/O Link – FX2N-16LNK-M

I/O link is actually a distributed I/O system for Mitsubishi FX series PLCs. I/O

modules can be placed at up to 200m from the main rack. They are addressed

like standard I/O and are subject to the limitations of the CPU. Each I/O link

master module can control up to 128 I/O points on up to 16 stations.

CC-Link Master Module – FX2N-16CCL-M

CC-Link is primarily a high powered remote I/O network, although it can be used

to connect local stations as well. It uses twisted-pair cabling. CC-link has a

range of 1200 m, data transmission rate of 10Mbps at 100m, fast update times

(3.9mS for 64 stations) and high I/O capability (2048).

This module makes an FX1N, FX2N, FX2NC or FX3U PLC act as a master on a

CC-Link network.

CC-Link Interface Module – FX2N-32CCL

The FX2N-32CCL allows the FX2N PLC to connect to the CC-Link network as a

remote device station. The CC-link master (usually an A-series PLC) controls

the FX2N PLC by writing data to the buffer memory of the FX2N-32CCL, which

then writes data to the PLC.

Profibus Master Module – FX3U-64DP-M

This module works only with the FX3U series. It is a full-featured master module

for a Profibus network. It is now possible for an FX3U to run the Profibus

network. Profibus networking supports maximum speeds of 12MB, and

distances up to 4800 meters.

Profibus is an open network protocol, which many vendors make devices for.

Profibus Interface Module – FX0N-32NT-DP

The addition of this Profibus module allows the PLC to be connected to a

Profibus network. Profibus DP is supported. The PLC acts as a Profibus slave.

Another PLC will be required as the network master.

Profibus Interface Module – FX2N-32DP-IF

The addition of a Profibus module allows the PLC to be connected to a Profibus

network. Profibus DP is supported. The PLC acts as a Profibus slave.

The FX2N-32DP-IF actually replaces the CPU in an FX setup. This module

allows FX I/O and SFM modules to be configured as a remote I/O drop on a

Profibus system.
