1:1 communication with FP Series PLC
Overview
Connect the FP-X and another FP series PLC using the RS232C interface and the MEWTOCOL-COM
communication protocol.

communicate.
• When the data area read command "%01#RDD00000 00001**
values of the data register of the PLC connected to the system are sent as a response. For example, if
the value K100 is stored in DT0 and the value K200 is stored in DT1 of the PLC,
