Connectable with up to eight different kinds of automation devices and different manufacturers' PLCs |
8-way communication enables connection among a V8 and up to eight kinds of devices consisting of PLCs and peripherals of different manufacturers.
・Simultaneous communication and data transfer with eight kinds of devices
・Simultaneous monitoring and operation of multiple PLCs and peripherals
・Linkage between a V8 and various devices on the LAN network using the gateway function

Serial connection (three ports) |
PLCs and peripherals of up to three kinds of units can be connected by serial connection. Even though two or more types of temperature controllers and inverters are used, they can be connected with one V8.
 |
Serial connection and Ethernet |
In addition to conventional connection with temperature controllers and PLCs via 2-way serial communication, connection via Ethernet is possible.

V8 can connect with eight kinds of PLCs via Ethernet. In addition, the display can be used as a gateway with another network by adding an Ethernet port using an optional unit (CU-03-3).
For example, data can be transferred between the production site and the office freely by using a V8. V8 works as the gateway of multiple networks of the production site and the office without increasing data load on the networks.
