without wasting.
Large memory capacity (expandable to 4 MB)
The CPU modules (Models H, F, and D) have built-in memory to store C programs and data (1 MB
for Models H and F, 2 MB for Model D). The memory is expandable to 4 MB when 1 MB
extension memory modules (LQM000), available as CPU options, are installed.
The CPU comes standard with remote I/O capabilities
Remote I/O units can be connected directly from the CPU module without an optional remote I/O
option module.
Three programming languages supported (ladder diagram, C, and HI-FLOW)
In addition to the ladder diagram language, the CPU module also supports the easy-to-see, easy-to-
understand flowchart language HI-FLOW and the general-purpose programming language C.
Compatible with open networks
Option modules extend support to general-purpose Ethernet® networks and field networks called
OPCN-1 and DeviceNet®. It also supports autonomously distributed communication (NX
program).
Use of I/O modules in the CPU unit
A flexible module configuration achieves an efficient system layout.
Up to 8192 controllable I/O points flexibly usable in small or large systems
The remote I/O unit installed as standard can control up to 2048 points. Where the J.NET is used,
up to 8192 points can be controlled.
