Step 2: Connect the FP0R PLC to the FP‑I4C unit

Connect the FP0R and FP‑I4C units and make the TOOL port settings for the PLC.

1. Connect the TOOL port of the FP0R PLC to the COM1 RS232 interface of the FP‑I4C unit, e.g. using cable AIGT8192 (see "Related topics").

2. Connect your PC to the PLC, e.g. with a USB cable, and turn on the power of the PLC.

3. Start the Control FPWIN Pro7 programming software to configure the TOOL port of the PLC.

4. Open or create a Control FPWIN Pro7 project and make sure the set PLC type is an FP0R PLC.

5. Go to System registers > Serial ports > TOOL.

   Make the following settings:

   Communication mode: MEWTOCOL-COM slave, Station number: 1, Baud rate: 115200, Data length: 8 bits, Parity: Odd, Stop bits: 1 bit

6. When you have completed your settings, transfer the configuration to the PLC.
