Features
1. Can be connected to a display panel and
computer.
Enables a 1:1 connection to a display panel and
computer. No software program is needed for communication.

a personal computer is possible.
This unit can be directly connected with a
personal computer through RS232C to collect and write data from it
without building up a large-scale network.
3. No communication program is needed on the
PLC. (Computer link function)
The PLC automatically returns responses using the
FP series' MEWTOCOL communication protocol so that there's no need
to prepare a communication program at the side of the PLC.
