2.6.1 Memory structure
1. In FX3U/FX3UC PLCs
FX3U/FX3UC PLCs are equipped with the RAM memory as standard.
By mounting a memory cassette, the memory type can be changed.
1) When using the built-in memory (without attached memory cassette)
2) When using an attached memory cassette (dose not use the built-in program memory)
