1.1 Features and Structure of ET-LAN Unit
1.1.1 Features
The FP2 ET-LAN unit is an Ethernet (100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T or 10BASE5) connection interface for
TCP/IP and UDP/IP for the FP2 and FP2SH series programmable controllers.
Supports both TCP/IP and UDP/IP
The ET-LAN supports both the TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols, enabling communication with a broad
range of computers and other devices in a network.
Simultaneous communication possible among up to eight connected connections
Communication can be carried out among up to eight connections connected to the network using only a
single unit. This enables connection to multiple partner nodes.
Three types of communication interfaces supported
Three types of Ethernet communication interfaces are supported (Usable interfaces vary according to
the models): 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, and 10BASE5. Any one of these interfaces may be used.
Automatic switching is possible between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T using an auto-negotiation function,
while a switch can be used to switch between 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T and 10BASE5.

Easy-to-use MEWTOCOL communication and general-purpose transparent communication
supported
The MEWTOCOL communication function (computer linking and data transmission) that enables
communication between personal computers, workstations, and FP series programmable controllers is
supported, as well as the transparent communication function that enables communication between
general-purpose devices such as computers.
Easy communication set-up
Communication settings can be easily performed using the setting tool (Configurator ET).
Changing the mode setting switches enables the communication setting to be performed by a ladder
program.
Using the system connection enables easy connections with devices such as a programming tool
(FPWIN GR).
