Overview
Modbus/TCP
Hardware selectable node ID
Redundancy
LED indicators for local diagnostic
The FCM-MTCP is a communication module with Mudbus/TCP through ethernet port. The Modbus/TCP is
a standard protocol commonly used in industrial applications. The FCM-MTCP can be used for the
Modbus/TCP client to access I/O modules. It is built-in two rotary switches to easily configure node ID
without utility. There are also 3 LED indicators for system diagnostic and 2 LED indicators for network
status, users can locally check system and network status. The FCM-MTCP not only offers single operation
but also redundant, this benefit brings I/O system more reliable.
