Overview
Model F4Q (hereafter also “this device” or “the slave station”) can exchange data with host devices (master stations)
such as a PC or a PLC via RS-485 communication.
Features
• The master station transmits read and write commands to slave stations.
• Through the reading and writing of data, the user can control this device, collect
process data, and configure device settings.
• Using RS-485 communication, up to 31 slave stations (devices like this device
that are compatible with RS-485) can be connected to a master station. Station
addresses are used to communicate with specific slave stations.
• The communication program is to be developed by the user.
• The data to be read/written can be freely selected by the data address.
• CPL (Azbil Corporation’s protocol) and Modbus RTU communication protocols
are supported. The user can select either one of the protocols.
