I MEWTOCOL Master Function Has Been Added
I Up to 3 serial communication ports can be used at once.
I Modbus* Compatibility
Network
Different types of equipment need to be linked − FP-X flexibly meet such requirements.
I PLC Link
By using the newly added MEWTOCOL master function for
automatically generating MEWTOCOL (Matsushita Open
Protocol) commands, serial communication with MEWTOCOL
compatible units such as PD50, KT4H, KW4H etc becomes
substantially easier.
The use of a communication cassette provides up to 3 serial
communication ports.
Usable interfaces include RS232C, RS485, RS422, and USB.
*The RS232C tool port can be used as a general-purpose serial communication port.
The MEWNET-W0 allows program-free links of up to 16 PLC units such as
FP2/2SH or FPΣ. The distributed control system allows efficient model
selection.
GSimple setting of the number of linked units, linked relays, and starting
GThe transfer rate of 115.2 kbps, the highest rate for a compact model.
GA transfer distance of 1200 m, the longest distance for a compact model.
GFP-X and FPΣ allow a change of the station number by programming
FP-X requires a communication cassette (AFPX-COM3 or AFPX-COM4)
FP2/2SH requires a multi-communication unit (AFP2465, AFP2805)
FPΣ
Compatible with both the master and slave of the Modbus* RTU, the world's de-facto standard
Great performance is expected for air-conditioning, temperature controls etc.
* Protocol developed by the Modicon Inc. of the United States
When 17 or more FP-X units need to be linked, the use of a Modbus
instead of a MEWNET-W0 can accommodate up to 99 FP-X units.
Because each FP-X can be a master or slave, a multi-master link
can be constructed by passing a token from a user program.
Another available application
area address of the own station by using FPWIN GR/Pro allows sharing
of contact information and data without programming.
