MELSEC-Q 
1   OVERVIEW 
 
(2)      Large-scale and flexible system configuration 
(a)        The link device has a larger capacity: 16384 points for the link relay (LB) 
and 16384 points for the link register (LW). (Refer to Section 3.1.1) 
 
(b)        The maximum number of link points per station has been increased. 
By selecting the network type, the maximum number of link points per 
station can be increased. 
1)    MELSECNET/H Extended mode 
1 
By selecting the MELSECNET/H Extended mode as the network type, 
the maximum number of link points per station can be set up to 35840 
bytes in excess of 2000 bytes. 
It is not necessary to install multiple network modules for a single CPU 
module to increase the number of transmission points. 
2)    MELSECNET/H mode 
1 
By selecting the MELSECNET/H mode as the network type, the 
maximum number of link points per station can be set up to 2000 bytes. 
Furthermore, by installing multiple network modules with the same 
network number for the same CPU module, the link points of "number 
of modules 
  maximum number of link points per station" can be sent. 
(High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU, Redundant CPU, and 
Universal model QCPU) (Refer to Section 7.9 "Increasing the Number 
of Send Points by Installing Multiple Modules Having the Same 
Network Number.") 
1: The link scan time varies depending on the network type. 
Refer to Section 3.3.2 for details. 
 
(c)        The commands for transmitting and receiving data with other stations on 
the MELSECNET/H network system (SEND, RECV, RECVS, READ, 
SREAD, WRITE, SWRITE) enable a maximum of 960 words of data to be 
transmitted and received (refer to Programming in section 7.4.5.) 
 
(d)        A system can be expanded to contain a maximum of 239 networks. (Refer 
to Section 2.1.4, "A Network System Containing Multiple Networks.") 
 
(e)  By using the inter-link data transfer function, data (LB/LW) can be transferred 
to another network without creating a sequence program. (High Performance 
model QCPU, Process CPU, Redundant CPU, and Universal model QCPU) 
(Refer to Section 7.2, "Inter-link Data Transfer Function.")
