Link Relay and Link Register Allocations
Link relays and link registers used with the PC(PLC) link function are allocated to the link area of CPU.
The link area is allocated by specifying the system register for the CPU.

Link area configuration
• Link areas consist of link relays and link registers, and are divided into areas for PC(PLC) link 0 and
PC(PLC) link 1 and used with those units.
• The link relay which can ben used in an area for either PC(PLC) link 0 or PC(PLC) link 1 is maximum
1024 points (64 words), and the link register is maximum 128 words.
Note:
Link areas are the shared areas for MEWNET-W0 (supported by MCU) and MEWNET-W (supported by
Multi-wire Link Unit). Therefore, the PC(PLC) link modes with MEWNET-W0 and MEWNET-W are
limited up to 2 systems in the combination of PC(PLC) link 0 and 1.
Reference:
For the details on MEWNET-W, refer to <FP2 Multi-wire Link Unit Manual ARCT1F284>.
