Download Distributed I/O 2006

Control Level:
MELSECNET/H, NET/10, NET/II, NET/B
These Mitsubishi Electric control level networks allow controller to controller networking, plus the ability to place regular rack
based I/O on a network link that operates up to 25Mbit/s. A network node of remote I/O uses a standard controller base with a
remote I/O network adapter in place of a CPU. As a standard base unit is used, any type of regular rack based I/O or special
function module may be used. This gives tremendous flexibility for configuring remote I/O nodes. For more details on modules
available, please refer to the relevant Q, QnA, AnS or A Series controller sections. Note that in general, a remote I/O network is a
separate network segment to a controller network.
Device Level:
CC-Link
CC-Link is a high performance, open device level network that operates up to 10Mbit/s. Mitsubishi Electric offers extensive
support for this network, with a wide variety of I/O and special function modules that sit directly on the network, under the control
of a Q, QnA, AnS/QnAS, A or FX2N Supermicro Series controller. This section presents the I/O and special function modules
available, divided into device types. For information on other Mitsubishi Electric automation products that support CC-Link, please
refer to the other controller, HMI, VFD and Servo sections of this publication.
Profibus-DP
Profibus-DP is an alternative open device level network also widely supported by Mitsubishi Electric . This section presents the
I/O choices available. For information on other Mitsubishi Electric automation products that support Profibus, please refer to the
other controller, HMI & VFD sections of this publication.
Sensor Level:
CC-Link/LT
CC-Link/LT is a sensor level version of CC-Link. It offers a way to simply connect discrete I/O to a controller with a minimum of
installation and labor costs. CC-Link/LT uses a special “vampire” style connection technology to make device connections with no
cutting or stripping of cable.
I/O Link
I/O link is a standalone Mitsubishi Electric network that handles small quantities of digital I/O on a twisted pair connection. I/O
Link is easy to program and install and is supported by most of our controllers.

n DISTRIBUTED I/O
In addition to our controllers, Mitsubishi Electric can offer you the capability to add a broad range of I/O to
allow you to place I/O points close to where they are required on your machine or line. We offer three
main approaches to putting I/O on a network:
