HIGH SPEED CONTROL AND
DATA COMMUNICATIONS
AT 1/3 THE COST!
Introducing Controller Link, Omron’s new
low-cost peer-to-peer control network for
C200HE/G/X and CV Series PLCs that
provides the speed and data communications
flexibility you need with the low per-node-
cost you demand. Controller Link lets
you upload and download programs and
exchange time critical information between
up to 32 Omron PLCs and supervisory or
enterprise computers on the same high-
speed network at a fraction of the cost of
other network systems.
Easy, Cost-effective Wiring with Twisted-Pair Cable
Controller Link networks are easily wired and maintained
using a low-cost, high-reliability twisted pair cable instead of
higher cost fiber-optic cable or coax. In addition, the PLC
interface module and computer boards (ISA bus) feature
built-in, switch selectable termination resistance, and have Easy Connection to Other Omron
been dramatically reduced in price to offer the best value in Communication Networks
factory automation networks available today.
A Controller Link network may be integrated with other
Controller Link networks or other Omron networks by
Messaging Service for High-Volume DataTransmission connecting the masters on a single Omron CV Series PLC.
Controller Link networks support high-volume data transfer Up to three network levels of routing are possible.
