The FA-M3 R is the world's first* PLC that supports remote maintenance of multiple pieces of
machines installed in distant locations, via Ethernet. Using a remote maintenance camera,
remote maintenance can be performed while actually monitoring the equipment.
The following can be performed remotely with the standard features of WideField:
Editing/loading/saving programs, monitoring ladder diagrams, monitoring devices,
monitoring operation statuses and reading various data. The personal computer
link feature can also be used.
System log, user log and sampling traces that fully support remote OME
Remote OME via Ethernet
• By connecting all the FA-M3 R controllers
incorporated in equipment at a plant, via
Ethernet all the machine statuses can be
viewed from a personal computer in an
office or control room.
• All functions of WideField can be used for
the FA-M3 R controllers remotely.
• Monitoring and data modification of one
FA-M3 R controller can be performed
simultaneously from multiple personal
computers via Ethernet.
However, WideField cannot run
simultaneously on two or more
computers on the network.
