Remote I/O systems

MEWNET-F mode

The number of I/O points can be increased up to 8192 and the transmission distance can be extended up to 700m by using the multi-wire link units.

MEWNET-F is a remote I/O system that connects I/O units in separate locations with twisted-pair cables.

The remote I/O master unit serves as a master station. Slave stations can be selected from the units shown on the next page.

Up to four wiring routes are available, allowing for a flexible layout of slave stations.

This network system is ideal for cases where I/O units need to be installed in separate locations or in a location away from the control box.

The number of I/O points can be increased up to 2048 in in-

crements of one channel having 128 points.

A CPU unit with S-LINK ports and a single S-LINK unit are available. FP2-C1SL has two S-LINK ports and can control 256 I/O points.

Length: 200m max.

I/O points: 128 max.

Sensors to be connected by S-LINK must be chosen from among S-LINK-compatible sensors manufactured by SUNX Limited.

Note: The number of I/O points may be less than 128 depending on the con- nected device model and connection location. For details, refer to the S-LINK instruction manual of SUNX Limited.
