6-1-1 Introduction
6-1 Programless Communications
With programless communications you can read and write E5@C-T parameters or start and reset the
E5@C-T from a Programmable Controller (PLC). Communications with the PLC are performed auto-
matically by the E5@C-T, so there is no need to program communications.
• You can connect to an OMRON CS/CJ-series or CP-series PLC or to a Mitsubishi Q-series or
L-series PLC.
• Up to 23 E5@C-T parameters can be assigned for reading and up to 43 E5@C-T parameters can be
assigned for writing in PLC memory. Each E5@C-T Controller is allocated 70 words of PLC memory.
(A total of 2,240 words are allocated if 32 E5@C-T Controllers are connected.)
• You can set the PLC memory area and addresses to use for programless communications.
• You can copy settings between E5@C-T Controllers to greatly reduce setup work and setting
mistakes.
