Remote I/O R3 Series

FL-net INTERFACE MODULE

(OPCN-2, Ver.2.0 supported)

Functions & Features

• Usable as a gateway between different protocols

combined with R3 interface modules

• FL-net (OPCN-2), Ethernet based, controller level network,

compatible remote I/O

• 10 Mbps/100 Mbps cyclic transmission for the maximum

of 4k bits + 256 words (1 word = 16 bits) allows data

shared among the devices connected to the bus

• FL-net bus extended to max. 500 meters, up to 2.5

kilometers with a repeater

• No need of ladder programming

Typical Applications

• A gateway between FL-net and Modbus

FUNCTIONS & FEATURES

■ R3-GFL1 enables the other interface module to access

field signals as virtual I/O data via FL-net. No ladder

programming is required to assign these I/O signals.

■ Any PC or PLC compatible with FL-net, up to 254 nodes,

can retrieve the updated data by accessing the common

memory without interfering with the communication traffic.

■ Analog and discrete input signals cyclically transmitted

from other devices can be output as virtual analog signal.

The FL-net Configuration Builder software (model: R3-

NFLBLD) is used to assign these virtual analog signals on

the common memory in the bit or word units.

■ Request/Response type message communication,

accessing I/O data only when necessary, is also possible.

CAUTION !

• FL-net standard requires a dedicated Ethernet bus for the

FL-net compatible devices. Connecting the R3-GFL1 to a

general-purpose LAN, or connecting a general-purpose

TCP/IP device to FL-net is Not allowed.

• FL-net uses UDP/IP protocol for transmission. ISDN, ADSL

or similar types of LAN are Not to be used.

CAUTION

• When selecting network modules, note that this unit is not

designed to be used with network modules of certain types

or versions.

• This unit CANNOT be used with R3-NC2, R3-NEIP1, R3-NFx,

and R3-NLx.

• This unit CAN be used with:

R3-NM3 and R3-NML3 of firmware version V1.00 or higher;

R3-NC1, R3-NC3, R3-NDx, R3-NE1, R3-NFL1, R3-NM1,

R3-NM4, and R3-NP1 of firmware version V2.00 or higher;

and

other models of any firmware versions.
