  • Page 8: Before Using The Product

    1. Before Using the Product 1. Before Using the Product This chapter provides information you should know before using the product. About the Module This product is a controller module for transferring I/O data between a host PC and network. It can be used to process I/O signals from connected F&eIT series device modules.

  • Page 9: System Configuration Image

    1. Before Using the Product System Configuration Image This product is an I/O controller module for processing I/O signals from connected device modules and transferring this data via a network to or from a PC or other host device. When connected to a device module, the I/O Controller Module forms an I/O Controller Unit. When used in conjunction with an I/O Assist Server Unit (SVR-IOAx(FIT)GY), the I/O Controller Unit can collect data and perform management functions, such as loading data onto the I/O Controller Unit itself.
