SPECIAL FUNCTION MODULES
Communications Modules
The MELSECNET/MINI Network
Data communications
MELSECNET/MINI enables fast data ex-
change with a variety of devices. Equip-
ment you can integrate in this network
type includes:
Remote digital I/Os
Analog I/Os
High-speed counters
Remote intelligence modules
(e.g FX0N/FX2N)
Frequency inverters (FR-A 540)
Third-party equipment, e.g.
FESTO/SMC
Structure
The network’s ring topology enables a
very large maximum coverage:
Max. 1700 m with shielded twisted-
pair cabling
Max. 10000 m with shielded twisted-
pair cabling combined with fibre-
optics cables
Cable types
The network supports a variety of differ-
ent cable types as communications media:
Shielded twisted-pair
Acrylic fibre-optics cable (max. 50 m/
segment)
Glass fibre-optics cable SI200/250 m
(max. 1000 m/segment)
Glass fibre-optics cable GI50/125 m
(max. 2000 m/segment)
Data exchange
This network can transport a variety of dif-
ferent data without any problems, includ-
ing both digital and analog data.
An FX0N/FX2N controller configured as a
slave can exchange (transmit and receive)
up to 28 data words with the master PLC
(AnS, QnAS).
Administration
The programming software packages
MELSEC MEDOC plus and MELSEC MINI-P
make installation and set-up simple and
trouble-free.
