Combinations of units set for the slave station (factory setting)
The FP3/FP10S MEWNET-TR can be connected with more than one FP I/O transmitter unit within the range of control
I/O point numbers set by the operation mode selector of the master station (FP3 transmitter master unit).
However, the maximum number of slave stations is 16 units for input and 16 units for output.
< Example of combination >
When setting the control I/O point numbers to 128 for input and 128 for output using the operation mode selector.

x When the system is configuredwith only 4-point units, the maximum of 16 input units and 16output units can be used
even if the setting is made for 128 input points and 128 output points. Therefore, only 64 points can be used for each,
as shown below.

The slave station can be connected with one expansion FP I/O terminal unit to increase the number of I/O points.
Note:

The 4-point type slave station (FP I/O transmitter unit) cannot be connected with the expansion FP I/O
terminal unit.
