connected to a computer through
the COM (RS232C) port.

Commercially available
RS232C cable
Since a COM (RS232C) port and TOOL (RS232C) port comes standard on the CPU for
the FP2/FP2SH, direct communication with the computer can be achieved without the
addition of any intelligent units.
Using a host computer program, the relay conditions and register contents of the CPU
can be read and written.
With communications from a host computer, communication programs are unnecessary
on the CPU side.
