Serial Int erf aces and Modem Compa tible
Communication – Simple and efficient via two serial interfaces: TOOL port and COM port (RS232C interface).
Programming interface TOOL port (also for communication)
In MEWTOCOL-COM Slave mode, this port offers access to the entire FP0 memory area. For example during data exchange between a host PC running SCADA software and an FP0 PLC, the Windows® based FP OPC Server assumes total control of the communications protocol (MEWTOCOL.COM). Therefore the user can disregard the allocation of data ranges and transfer parameters, because there is no additional programming required. The programmer is thus free to concentrate exclusively on the project application requirements.
Communication Interface COM port
(Flexible with two modes of operation, MEWTOCOL-COM Slave (Computer Link) and Program controlled (General purpose))
In addition to the MEWTOCOL-COM Slave (Computer Link) communication possibilities described above, the optional, integrated RS232C COM port in the FP0 CPU modul (types FP0-C10CRS, FP0-C14CRS, FP0-C16C, FP0-C32C and FP0-T32C) offers flexible programme control (General purpose). In this configuration it is possible to realise communication connections with various peripheral devices via RS232, e.g. bar code readers, slave devices, printers, measurement sensors, telecommunication transmitters, etc.
Communication interface COM port
Freely programmable RS232C interface for CPU modules type FP0-C10CRS,
FP0-C14CRS, FP0-C16C, FP0-C32C and FP0-T32C
Programming interface TOOL port
For programming or additional master/slave communication using
MEWTOCOL COM (Panasonic protocol)
Modem compatible
Even modem communication function is built into this compact body. Using a single telephone line, programming maintenance can be carried out in remote facilities. With C-NET, multiple FP0 units can be connected.
