Remote master station
A station where the network parameter for data link is set. A single master station is required on the
MELSECNET/10 remote I/O network.
Network module
A generic term for the MELSECNET/10 remote master module, MELSECNET/10 remote I/O module, and
MELSECNET/H remote I/O module
Relay station
A station that relays the transient transmission to other networks.
A station which transfers a link device of a network module to other network modules.
Multiple network modules are mounted on a base unit.
Reserved station
A station reserved for future use. This station is not actually connected, but counted as a connected
station.
GPPA
Product names of the software packages for the MELSEC programmable controllers.
GPPQ
GX Developer
GX Works2
Peripheral A generic term for GPPA, GPPQ, and GX Developer used by connecting to the remote master station
RAS
An abbreviation for "Reliability", "Availability", and "Serviceability".
This term refers to usability of automated equipment.
Group number
A number that specifies the target stations for the transient transmission.
If the target stations for the transient transmission are specified as a group, data can be sent to the stations
in the same group.
Cyclic transmission
A function that periodically exchanges data between the remote master station and remote I/O stations
using the link device LB, LW, LX, or LY of a network module
Device A device (X, Y, M, or D) in a CPU module or MELSECNET/H remote I/O module
Transient transmission
A function of communication with a programmable controller in other stations, which is used when
requested a link dedicated instruction or peripherals.
This function can communicate with a programmable controller on the same network and other networks.
Buffer memory
A memory in an intelligent function module and special function module to store data temporary.
The MELSECNET/10 remote master module does not have any buffer memory area that users can use.
