The EPC-19 IPC is designed for users who have previously used desktop PCs in harsh industrial environments.
The unit also can be used to monitor the operating state of a remote RS232C or RS422 linked PLC and to update its settings over an intranet or the Internet.
Available as the PLC link server is either the SVR-PLCLC(FIT)GY with an RS232C or the SVR-PLCLD(FIT)GY with an RS422/485 connection.
Connecting PLCs to a network is nothing new.
What's unique about the Contec PLC Server family is that the MELSEC-Q PLCs are programmed and controlled directly from the customer's PC over LAN.
Users simply connect the Contec PLC server to their PLCs and program the PLC directly from anywhere, over the LAN.
Through the innovative F and eIT protocol, the Contec PLC server approach is unique in that the F and eIT Protocol assigns all device resources (including information) to virtual space.
Any access to a device will be performed by specifying a virtual address.
The virtual space is divided into information common to devices, device-specific information, I/O space, and memory space.
The specific location in the virtual space where information is stored and the method by which information is stored is completely transparent to where or how information is stored in actual physical resources.
