Mounting more than one JW-21MN on the basic rack panel of the JW20/JW20H/JW30H can increase the number of stations.

Remarks

-When installing multiple number of modules on a single PC, make them allocated so that relay link area, register link area, and flag area may not overlap with each other.

-When installing multiple number of modules on a single PC, pay attention to the total communica- tion data volume and the number of bytes available for communication area.

-Though more than one JW-21MN can be mounted on single basic rack panel, they cannot directly communicate with other stations beyond one network.
