11.3 Data Exchange Function
AH500 series can exchange data with another Ethernet PLC not only by means of instructions, but also by a
table interface.
AH500 Basic CPU modules (AHCPU500/510/520/530) can exchange data via MODBUS TCP and AH500
Advanced CPU modules (AHCPU501/511/521/531) can exchange data via MODBUS TCP and MODBUS.
