Click “Move”, “Collect”, “Store”, “Transfer” or “Check” in the below image to see the details of each item.

Compatible with industrial network Ethernet protocol

The FP7 supports EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT® and provides an integrated system through the control of sensors and servo motors, etc., and data transmission with high-order servers.
* EtherNet/IP is a trademark of ODVA, Inc.
* EtherCAT is registered trademark and patented technology, licensed by Beckhoff Automation Gmbh, Germany.

Cassette system reduces unit cost and footprint

With ease and at low cost, extend the serial communication and analog functionality of CPU units.

Moreover, when used as a serial communication unit, expansion to as many as 35 channels is possible. Reduces cost and footprint.
