Product Features

Ethernet Interface Module

The MELSEC iQ-R Series Ethernet module is equipped with two ports that can be used as either a general Ethernet, CC-Link IE Field or Control Network module. The module design incorporates an easy-to-read display and a dot-matrix LED providing a quick way to assess network conditions using the module.

Dual gigabit Ethernet ports

The number of connectable ports on the Ethernet module has been doubled and the number of connections per channel increased. By increasing the number of ports the module can be used effectively as a gateway, simultaneously connecting a general Ethernet network to one port and using the second port for the CC-Link IE Field or Control network. Additionally, the number of connections per channel has been increased from 64 to 128, doubling the bandwidth for even more connectable devices.
