Tutto sui PLC: la CPU
A practical engineering guide to PLC CPU operation, from deterministic scan cycles and I/O image tables to memory, communications, diagnostics, redundancy, processor sizing, and reliable system...
Engineered to expand the connectivity of the MELSEC iQ-F controller platform, the Mitsubishi Electric FX5-ENET/IP network module provides dedicated EtherNet/IP and standard Ethernet communication capabilities. Integrating this module into your automation architecture enables the FX5 CPU to act as both an EtherNet/IP scanner (master) and adapter (slave) simultaneously, facilitating seamless data exchange with remote I/O, variable frequency drives, and third-party instruments. Operating on a 24 V DC internal power supply with a low current draw of 110 mA, it delivers high-performance industrial networking without putting unnecessary strain on the system's power budget.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Mitsubishi Electric |
| Model Number | FX5-ENET/IP |
| Series | MELSEC iQ-F Series |
| Module Type | EtherNet/IP Network Module |
| Internal Power Supply | 24 V DC |
| Current Consumption | 110 mA |
| Transmission Rate | 100 Mbps / 10 Mbps (Auto-negotiation) |
| Communication Interface | RJ45 Port (1 port) |
| Max. Cable Segment Length | 100 meters |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 1.5 kg |
| LED Indicator | Operational State Meaning |
|---|---|
| RUN | ON: Normal operation; OFF: Power off or hardware watchdog error. |
| ERR | Flashing/ON: Hardware error or incorrect module parameter configuration. |
| NS (Network Status) | Green (ON): Online connected; Red (Flashing): IP address conflict or connection timeout. |
| MS (Module Status) | Green (ON): Module is operating normally; Red (ON): Unrecoverable hardware failure. |
Unlike the built-in Ethernet port on FX5U CPU modules, which primarily processes CC-Link IE Field Basic, Modbus/TCP, and MELSOFT connection protocols, the FX5-ENET/IP is explicitly optimized for heavy-duty CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) traffic. If your network topology mandates cyclic, high-speed Class 1 implicit messaging with third-party components, this module must be appended. Note that firmware version 1.040 or higher in the host FX5 CPU is required for full feature exploitation.
During high-traffic cyclic communication periods, network jitter can trigger NS fault codes. It is highly recommended to isolate EtherNet/IP messaging traffic from plant-wide IT office networks using managed switches with IGMP snooping configured. When mounting multiple extension modules, position the FX5-ENET/IP as close to the CPU as possible to ensure structural bus signaling integrity.
Always use Category 5e (or better) Double-Shielded Twisted Pair (S/FTP) cabling in high electromagnetic noise environments. Avoid routing the network cable parallel to high-voltage lines or variable frequency drive output cables to prevent induced noise from corrupting data packets.
Ensure all AC and DC external power sources feeding the host PLC and associated field circuitry are completely de-energized before mounting, removing, or wiring the FX5-ENET/IP network module. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock, hardware failure, or unstable CPU bus behavior.
