Panasonic Ethernet
|
All relevant factory automation products communicate with each other via Ethernet. Main focus is the connection to the IT-world and the use of its advantages:
- uses existing networks, saves wiring
- reaches almost every point of the world via Internet
- standard software tools already existing on your PC
- remote control, monitoring and programming
The FP Web-Server brings together all the FP series controllers with Ethernet an all the possibilities of this new technology. In addition, for the FP2 / FP2SH series controllers, Panasonic provides high-end ET-LAN modules for particularly fast communication on the Ethernet network.

Communication at process level between PLC systems using low-cost two-wire circuitry. Data exchange via RS485 interface (Token Bus). The network is the best choice for an economical PLC link such as an I/O status transfer among machines.
Transmission speed: 500Kbps
Max. number of stations: 32
Max. distance: 800m
|
|
|
|
MEWNET-W2
|
PLC link with economical twisted-pair cables (Token-Bus). In addition to PLC link functions, a data transfer function that allows a PLC program to be used to set the memory of the transfer source and the destination is provided.
Transmission speed: 250Kbps or 500Kbps selectable
Max. number of stations: 32
Max. distance: 800m at 500Kbps or 1.200m at 250Kbps
|

MEWNET-TR
|
The sensor/actuator bus
MEWNET-TR provides low-cost transmission of digital I/O information at
sensor / actuator and field level between a master connection assembly and decentralized terminals (slaves).
Transmission rate: 500Kbps
Max. number of stations: 32
Max. distance: 700m using twisted pair cable
|
|
|
|
TR-NET
|
The intelligent sensor / actuator bus terminals in the TR-NET from Panasonic
make cost-intensive network masters superfluous in compact automation
projects. Digital information from a sensor station is transmitted via two-wire
circuitry directly to the associated station.
Transmission rate: 500Kbps
Max. number of stations: 32 (per master unit)
Max. distance: 700m using twisted pair cable
|
|
|
|
MEWNET-F
|
Decentralised I/O
MEWNET-F is a remote I/O system which can control differently located inputs and outputs with 2-wire cable. This system is best suitedfor a network in which I/Os set up in different spots: a control box in a distant place, for example.
Transmission rate: 500Kbps
Max. number of stations: 32
Max. distance: 700m
|
|
|
|
S-LINK
