Appendix 1 Comparison of Network Module Specifications, and Compatibility
Appendix 1.1 List of comparison between MELSECNET/H and MELSECNET/H Extended
mode and MELSECNET/10 mode specifications
The MELSECNET/H system supports the MELSECNET/H and MELSECNET/H
Extended modes (high functionality/high-speed mode) and the MELSECNET/10 mode
(functional and performance compatibility mode), which are explained in this manual.
When the MELSECNET/10 mode is used, it is easy to make connection with the
AnU/QnA corresponding MELSECNET/10. However, its specifications are different
from those of the MELSECNET/10 mode, as shown in Table 1 below.
Since this manual is written assuming that MELSECNET/H is used in the MELSECNET/H
and MELSECNET/H Extended mode, refer to the "QnA/Q4AR Corresponding
MELSECNET/10 Network System Reference Manual" to use it in the MELSECNET/10
mode.
