4.4 Operation of Field Network Type
In the field networks, the following operation modes are available to choose from for operation.
(Except for the motion network)
Operation should be made with the data necessary for operation (such as target position,
velocity, acceleration, pressing current, etc.) written in the determined addresses from such as
PLC connected to the host.
For details regarding operation of each field network, refer to the instruction manuals listed below.

Note 1 PCON-CB/CFB/CBP are the slave units (slave stations).
Refer to the instruction manual of the master unit of each supplier and PLC to be
mounted for the details of each network.
For the instruction of the field network for PCON-CB/CFB/CBP, the instruction manual is
provided separately. Use the manual together with this manual.
Note 2 PCON-CBP is not applicable for MECHATROLINK-III.
