What is a LAN (Ethernet Communication) Port?

This port is used for 100BASE-TX/10 BASE-T compatible Ethernet communication.
This port serves two purposes.

  • Connecting to the development PC
    This port can be used to connect the Controller to the development PC.
    This enables the same operations as when connecting the Controller and development PC by the dedicated development PC connection port.
    Refer to the following section.
    Development PC Connection USB Port
  • Connecting to other Controllers and PCs
    By creating robot application software, Ethernet (TCP/IP) communication between multiple Controllers is possible.

CAUTION


  • The OUT connector is not a LAN (Ethernet communication) port. Do not connect a cable here.
