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.
