Functions & Features
• FL-net (OPCN-2), Ethernet based, controller level network,
compatible remote I/O
FUNCTIONS & FEATURES
• 10 Mbps/100 Mbps cyclic transmission for the maximum
of 4k bits + 256 words (1 word = 16 bits) allows data
shared among the devices connected to the bus
• FL-net bus extended to max. 500 meters, up to 2.5
kilometers with a repeater
■ The R3-NFL1 is used to access field signals at the R3 I/O
modules via FL-net.
No ladder programming is required to assign these I/O
signals.
■ Analog and discrete input signals are transmitted
cyclically.
• I/O data can be assigned to any bits or words in the
common memory
Any PC or PLC compatible with FL-net, up to 254 nodes, can
retrieve the updated data by accessing the common
memory without interfering with the communication traffic.
■ Analog and discrete input signals cyclically transmitted
from other devices can be output at the R3 output modules.
The FL-net Configuration Builder software (model: R3-
NFLBLD) is used to assign these I/O signals on the common
memory in the bit or word units.
• No need of ladder programming
• Request/response type data access of message
transmission is also possible
• Any other network module can be assigned to the dual
redundant internal bus
• Supports multiple protocol of FL-net plus DeviceNet, CC-
Link, and others
• Masterless configuration allows the FL-net I/Os function as
local multiplex transmission system
■ The R3-NFL1, constantly scanning its I/O modules via the
internal bus, has the updated data always ready for a
request from the FL-net. High speed response without any
loss time is possible.
27.5 [1.08]
■ Request/Response type message communication,
accessing I/O data only when necessary, is also possible.
■ Dual redundant network configuration using two network
modules is available.
139
[5.47]
Two different network protocols, e.g. FL-net and DeviceNet
or FL-net and CC-Link, can be used to access one field
signal.

[4.29]
mm [inch]
■ Masterless configuration allows two FL-net nodes function
as local multiplex transmission system.
MODEL: R3–NFL1[1]
CAUTION !
• FL-net standard requires a dedicated Ethernet bus for the
FL-net compatible devices. Connecting the R3-NFL1 to a
general-purpose LAN, or connecting a general-purpose
TCP/IP device to FL-net is Not allowed.
ORDERING INFORMATION
• Code number: R3-NFL1-[1]
Specify a code from below for [1].
(e.g. R3-NFL1/CE/Q)
• FL-net uses UDP/IP protocol for transmission. ISDN, ADSL
or similar types of LAN are Not to be used.
• Specify the specification for option code /Q
(e.g. /C01)
