Setting the largest unit number for a PC(PLC) link
The largest unit number can be set using system register no. 47 (using system register no. 57 for
PC(PLC) link 1 (for FPΣ 32k type only)).
[Sample setting]
No. of units linked Setting contents
2 1st unit: Unit no. 1 is set
2nd unit: Unit no. 2 is set
A largest unit no. of 2 is set for each.
4 1st unit: Unit no. 1 is set
2nd unit: Unit no. 2 is set
3rd unit: Unit no. 3 is set
4th unit: Unit no. 4 is set
A largest unit no. of 4 is set for each.
n Nth unit: Unit no. n is set
A largest unit no. of n is set for each.
Note:
• Unit numbers should be set sequentially and consecutively, starting from 1, with no breaks between
them. If there is a missing unit number, the transmission time will be longer.
• For all PLCs which are linked, the same value should be set for the largest unit number.
• If there are fewer than 16 units linked and the largest unit number has not been set (default=16), or the
largest unit number has been set but the unit number settings are not consecutive, or the unit number
settings are consecutive but there is a unit for which the power supply has not been turned on, the
response time for the PC(PLC) link (the link transmission cycle) will be longer.

Setting PC(PLC) link switching flag (For FPΣ 32k type only)
PC(PLC) link switching flag can be set using system register no. 46.
If it is set to 0 (default value), the first half of the link relays and registers are used. If it is set to 1, the
second half of the loink relays and registers are used.
