How to connect to a network

Connection example

Connecting a communication unit (DL Series) to the sensor amplifier allows data communication with various devices.

• Some models do not allow the connection of different types depending on the configuration.
• The maximum number of units connectable to one communication unit varies depending on the type of sensor amplifier.

Network example

• The PLC/PC needs to have a unit or a port that is compatible with the network.
• When RS-232C (DL-RS1A) is used for the connection, the unit is connected on a one-to-one basis.
