6.5.9 1:N Communication (General-purpose Serial Communication)
- The FP-X0 and the external units are connected using an RS485 cable. Using the protocol that
matches the external units, the F159 (MTRN) instruction is used to send and receive data.
- As for the FP-X0 L40MR and L60MR, connect to the COM port terminals (RS485).
