Neither a dedicated device nor a special
program ir required
Multiple GP series units may be directly connected at
ease to a single host (computer) link unit for PLCs by the
direct access method without using any dedicated device
or special program.
* For multilink connections, it is recommended that our multi-link
cable (GP230-IS12-O) or RS-422 terminal bracket conversion
adapter (GP070-CN10-O) is used.

Electric Corp.
2-port Adapter II
This compact adapter allows you to
use both the GP series unit and the
PLC's peripheral units for the efficient
transfer, monitoring, and debugging
of a PLC program.
The direct mode can be selected
for high-speed communication.
Isolated signals via 2 port Adapter II
avoids noise interference to PLC'
CPU.
