Since an Ethernet cable can be connected to a multiple number of network devices, the factory
operation state and alarm occurrences can be monitored from several places.

【Configuration Example 2】
By connecting the LANs of different factories with one Ethernet cable, transmission in each factory
can be executed simultaneously. The transmission between the robot controller and the personal
computer in factory A does not interfere with the transmission between the robot controller and the
personal computer in factory B. Transmission can also be done between factories. (In both cases,
the settings should be correct.)

With the Ethernet cables, the job on a personal computer can be executed on the robot controller by
installing a personal computer for each production line and transferring the job from the personal
computers to the robot controller. Then, by connecting one personal computer to the Ethernet cables
in all the production lines, monitoring of the state of all the production lines and data backup can be
executed.
