[Start]:
Touch the button.
The screen for communication check execution
is displayed. When no problem is found with the communication, the total
number of units that communicated successfully and the number of S-No.
assigned to the units are highlighted. If the communication is successful,
please check whether the device connected to the FLEX NETWORK unit operate
properly or the cable is correct. If communication fails, check the communication
cable for breaks, the power supply of the unit, and the termination resistor
of the unit. If the problem continues, the unit or main unit may be faulty.
Please contact your local distributor.
The following list shows the I/O units supported by the communication check. For example, when setting FN-X16TS(1),1 S-No.1 and FN-XY32SKS (4),1,S-No.2, S-no.1 to 5 are highlighted on the screen above.
