FPΣ (Sigma)

Optimised communication functions

Convenient station no. setting function enables flexible use, even when there are product type

changes.

Station no. switchability allows the use of unified programming and program switching.

Because even the communications parameters can be changed in the program, connection is enabled with external devices that have different communication parameters.

No. setting switch

Communication parameters changed by instructions

Great for these applications, too...

Computer linkage with up to 99 stations enabled (max. 32 stations when using C-NET adapter). Ability to gather data from multiple stations means greater design freedom.
