MEWNET-F mode
The number of I/O points can be increased up to 819 and the transmission distance can be extended up to 00m by using the
multi-wire link units.

MEWNET-F is a remote I/O system that connects I/O units in separate locations with twisted-pair cables.
The remote I/O master unit serves as a master station. Slave stations can be selected from the units shown on the next page.
Up to four wiring routes are available, allowing for a flexible layout of slave stations.
This network system is ideal for cases where I/O units need to be installed in separate locations or in a location away from the
control box. 

S-LINK
S-LINK is a link system that allows the free layout of I/O de-
vices, such as sensors, by T-branch connections with a four-
wire flat cable.
The number of I/O points can be increased up to 048 in in-
crements of one channel having 18 points.
A CPU unit with S-LINK ports and a single S-LINK unit are
available. FP-C1SL has two S-LINK ports and can control
56 I/O points.

Note: The number of I/O points may be less than 18 depending on the con-
nected device model and connection location. For details, refer to the
