 PLC link
PLC link is a system that allows our PLCs to share contact data and word data without programming.
MEWNET-W0 mode
A PLC link of the compact high-performance PLC FPΣ (Sigma)* and FP-X* can be established by using a combination of the multi-
communication unit and an RS485 communication block. This mode enables the efficient connection of FP/FPSH, FPΣ (Sigma)
and FP-X units on a single network and contributes to significant cost reduction.

115.kbps transmission speed.

Transfer of data of 64 points/18 words is possible.

Up to 16 units can be connected.

Extendable to 1,00m.
MEWNET-W2 mode
Large capacity PLC links can be established by using
twisted-pair cables and multi-wire link units.

500kbps transmission speed.

Transfer of data of 4096 points/4096 words is possible.
