Networking Units
The FP0 can be used as a slave station for MEWNET-F (remote I/O system) by adding I/O link unit.
MEWNET-F is a reduced-wiring, remote I/O system that connects PLCs located
separately and I/O slave stations with 2-core cabling. By adding an I/O link unit
to the FP0, you can link master station PLC and FP0 inputs and outputs via the
network.

FP0-IOL Link Unit Specifications
By using C-NET, you can use multiple FP0s as data collection terminals.
By using the C-NET network and exclusive
adapters, you can connect multiple FP0s
by multi-drop connection with 2-wire cables.
You can use computers for separate control
or have network terminals for a centralised
management system.
