8.7.5 Monitoring

When using a PLC link, the operation status of the links can be monitored using the relays
below. In FPWIN Pro, choose Monitor → Special Relays and Registers → PLC Link
Status to view the status of each relay.
To monitor other PLC link status items, such as the transmission cycle time and the number of
times that errors have occurred, choose Monitor → PLC Link Status in FPWIN Pro.
Remote programming of other linked PLCs is not possible.
NOTE
To access special data registers and special internal relays, use the PLC-
independent system variables.
