2. FP1 and FP3/FP10S
By connecting the FP1 transmitter master unit and FP3 transmitter master unit, I/O data can be exchanged between the
two master stations. The I/O points allocated to master stations A and B correspond one to one. When an output is
generated from one master station, the corresponding input point of the other master station turns ON.

Notes:
x
Either master station can be set as master B. However, be sure to pair up two stations as master A and
master B.
x
When the I/O link function is used, do not connect a slave station.
x
It is recommended that master A and master B have the same number of I/O points. To set I/O points, use
the operation mode selectors, and follow the same procedure as for the I/O allocation for remote I/O slave
stations.
