Section 11 LAN Signal Cable "LAN"
The TSL3000E/TSL3100E has a single LAN port channel as standard.
The LAN communication function enables communication with computers or visual
equipment on the Ethernet in the same local area through the TCP/IP.
The function also enables the creation and editing of programs using the computer
programmer TSPC, debugging start assistance, and maintenance.
Use a straight cable if a hub is used for connection with external equipment. Use a
cross cable if a computer and the controller are connected directly one-to-one. The
equipment to be used has an automatic recognition function, which allows the use of
both straight and cross cables. For further information, see the equipment
specifications.
For details on the LAN communication function, see the "Communication Manual".
