FP0 MEWNET-F Unit
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.
