Open network connection
(FL-net interface module)
- MELSEC iQ-R series programmable controllers manufactured by Mitsubishi Electronic are available for building the FL-net (OPCN-2) system.
The FL-net (OPCN-2) can be interconnected to devices, such as programmable controllers, computerized numerical controllers (CNC), and personal computers which are manufactured by different manufacturers, providing control and monitoring.

Two communication functions to match the application
Data communications on FL-net (OPCN-2) are performed by either cyclic transmission or message transmission.
- Cyclic transmission
- Each node is linked to common memory and data can be shared.
- Message transmission
- Specific data is communicated as it is required.
Masterless and large-scale network
Masterless method enables users to connect/disconnect each node to/from the network at any time without affecting communications of other nodes.
Users can freely power on/off any node, perform maintenance, and connect a maximum of 254 devices*1.
*1: 249 devices can be used as control devices. The other five devices are used for failure diagnostics.
