1.2.1 equipment modification
Traditionally, the communication port of Mitsubishi FX Series PLC is
usually equipped with a touch screen for monitoring
PLC real-time data; and now, due to project requirements, the need to not affect the original
touch-screen communication, again
Increase the computer to PLC data monitoring (kingview, MCGS, force control) , and
BCNET-FX-S products can be perfect
The solution of such equipment transformation program.

1.2.2 equipment informatization
At present, the management of manufacturing enterprises is developing towards
the direction of comprehensive information, and it is necessary to realize
production management at the workshop level

Use the manual Beichen Automation BCNET-FX-S Ethernet communication processor
First of all, to build equipment information network, that is, equipment
networking. For most production-oriented enterprises, they usually require:
1, equipment networking can not affect the existing production operation 2, the transformation of
existing equipment less 3, networking time is short 4,
Network communication stability, easy to maintain; 5, less investment; 6,
system openness and scalability. BCNET-FX-S
Product in the function can well meet the above requirements.
1.2.3 implement remote device maintenance over the Internet
Due to the increasing cost of labor and business travel, with the help of
a strong Internet network, with related remote communications
Module, BCNET-FX-S products can easily solve remote PLC program modification,
to avoid going to the scene of Hemp
Annoying and expensive.
1.3 typical applications
Ethernet programming, upload and download procedures, upper monitoring
(kingview, MCGS, force control, KepWare OPC) , equipment networking.
