YOKOGAWA PLC via the Ethernet connection.
Precautions for setting items
(1) YOKOGAWA PLC
For details on YOKOGAWA PLC, refer to the following manual.
User's manual for YOKOGAWA PLC CPU
(2) Precautions for Ethernet connection
The N/W No. and PLC No. are specified when connecting to the YOKOGAWA
PLC via the Ethernet. In such cases, set the N/W No. and PLC No. arbitrarily on

(1) Before setting
(a) Precaution for monitoring
Monitoring via MELSECNET/10 or MELSECNET/H is not available.
(b) Communication precautions
• Only communications within the same segment can be monitored.
• Communications via a router or a gateway cannot be monitored.
• A connection of multiple pieces of network equipment (including GT
SoftGOT1000) to a segment may increase the network load and slow down
the communication between the GT SoftGOT1000 and the programmable
controller.
• Communication efficiency may be improved by using one or more of the
following methods:
• Use a switching hub
• Use a high-speed 100BASE-TX (100Mbps)
• Reduce the number of monitoring points of the GT SoftGOT1000
• To connect multiple GT SoftGOT1000 modules within the Ethernet network,
set a different [PLC No.] for each GT SoftGOT1000.
• Do not use "192.168.0.18" for IP address when starting multiple GT SoftGOT.
Otherwise, a communication error occurs in GOT.
