1 : 1 Connection
• One set of the Simple POD is connected to one PLC (1 : 1 connection).
• The host link unit of the PLC or the CPU port is used and the Simple POD (master station)
establishes communications according to the protocol of the PLC. Consequently, it is not
necessary to have the dedicated communication program on the PLC (slave station). The Simple
POD reads the PLC memory for screen display. It is also possible to write switch data or
numerical data entered through the keypad directly to the PLC memory.
• For more information on wiring and communication settings, refer to the User's Manual <PLC
Connection> (FEH380).
