1. Overview
MECHATROLINK is an open field network for communication of both control and data signals of the machine/line
control level.
A wire-saving system can be built by connecting ACON, PCON and SCON-CA (High-function Type) controllers
(hereinafter collectively and individually referred to as “Each Controller”) to a MECHATROLINK.
Each controller is treated as an Intelligent I/O in MECHATROLINK and supports only asynchronous
communication commands.
* For details on MECHATROLINK, refer to the operation manual for the programmable controller (hereinafter
referred to as “PLC”) in which the master unit is installed.
This operating manual should be used in conjunction with the operation manual for each controller.
You should also assume that any usage not specifically permitted in this operating manual is prohibited.
