5.4.4 Remote I/O System Communication Error Flag (FP0)
The communication condition of the Remote I/O System can be checked from the FP0
side. This is only valid when operation mode selection switch No.4 is ON.
Communication condition Normal Trouble
I/O link error flag 0 1
Notes
This flag indicates the state of the communication condition
between the FP0 I/O Link Unit and the Master Unit. If a
communication error occurs at other slave stations while the
Master Unit’s operation mode switch No. 7 (communication
error operation mode) is set to ”0” (operation stop mode), this
flag turns on.
This flag is assigned the MSB (most significant bit) of Input 2
words [32bits: WX (n, n+1)] in the FP0 I/O Link Unit. For
details, see page 5-11, Example 1.

The base word number that the Master Unit
at the left can control is 64.
The I/O Link Unit is identified by the Master Unit in the
FP3/FP10SH as a slave station. The total number of I/O points
is 64 (32X, 32Y, i.e input: 32 points, output: 32 points).
