Communication Functions
The FC6A Series MicroSmart can perform RS232C and RS485 communication using serial port 1. The communication ports can be
expanded by using communication cartridges to allow for multiple instances of RS232C and RS485 communication. The Ethernet
port is standard equipment to enable communication using Ethernet. The CAN J1939 All-in-One Type is equipped with a CAN port
to enable J1939 communication.
Communication Functions
For details on communication functions, see the "FC6A Series MicroSmart All-in-One Type Communication Manual".
Communication Ports
Maintenance Communication
Maintenance communication enables you to check the operating status and I/O status of the FC6A Series
MicroSmart, to display and change device values, and download and upload user programs using a
computer or operator interface.
User Communication
Data can be sent and received by creating commands for external devices (computers, printers, barcode
readers, and other devices).
Modbus Communication
Data can be sent and received between communication device that conforms to the Modbus protocol and
the FC6A Series MicroSmart.
Data Link Communication
Data can be sent and received between a master station and slave stations by connecting a maximum of
31 MicroSmarts (slave station) to a MicroSmart (master station).
J1939 Communication
The CAN J1939 All-in-One Type can send and receive data with communication device that conforms to
the SAE-J1939 standard.
USB Port
Maintenance communication can be performed by connecting the FC6A Series MicroSmart to a computer
using this port.
Ethernet Port 1
The FC6A Series MicroSmart can communicate with Ethernet communication-compatible external devices
such as computers and operator interfaces using this port. Maintenance communication, user
communication, and Modbus TCP communication are possible.
HMI-Ethernet Port
This port connects the HMI module to the CPU module and allows the HMI module to be used. The FC6A
Series MicroSmart can communicate with Ethernet communication-compatible external devices such as
computers and operator interfaces using this port. Maintenance communication is possible.
Serial Port 1
The FC6A Series MicroSmart can communicate with RS232C/RS485 communication-compatible external
devices such as computers, operator interfaces, and printers using this port. Maintenance communication,
user communication, Modbus RTU communication, and data link communication are possible.
Communication Cartridge
(option module)
The FC6A Series MicroSmart is capable of maintenance communication, user communication, Modbus
RTU communication, and data link communication using this port.
CAN port The CAN J1939 All-in-One Type is capable of J1939 communication using this port.
