Names and Major Applicat ions of Port
Two communication ports are equipped with FP2 Multi Communication Unit (MCU).
By mounting either communication blocks, RS232C, RS422 or RS485, the communication becomes
available with external devices.
The upper communciation port is called COM. 1 port, and the
lower port is called COM. 2 port.
Select suitable communication block after determine the
following applications.
