Product Description

Description

Designed for seamless integration within the MELSEC iQ-R Series programmable controller platform, the RJ71C24-R4 serial communication module provides dual-channel RS-422/RS-485 serial interfaces. This module enables direct data transmission between the PLC system and peripheral devices such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs), frequency inverters, temperature controllers, and barcode readers. By supporting standard protocols including MC protocol, Modbus/RTU, and non-procedural communications, the RJ71C24-R4 facilitates highly reliable serial networking in industrial environments without requiring complex transmission programs.

Features

  • Dual-channel configuration featuring two dedicated RS-422/RS-485 serial ports.
  • Direct installation onto the MELSEC iQ-R series main base unit.
  • Supports MC protocol, Modbus/RTU master/slave, and bidirectional non-procedural communication.
  • Simplifies programming through pre-defined protocol support and dedicated PLC instructions.
  • Provides robust diagnostics and monitoring capabilities through GX Works3 engineering software.

Applications

  • Factory automation and control systems.
  • SCADA and HMI monitoring network integration.
  • Distributed peripheral device control (Inverters, Sensors, and Actuators).
  • Legacy serial-to-PLC communication bridging.
