3.1.1 Robot-side system configuration
To construct a robot-side system (local station), install the master/local module (Item No.5) in the MELSEC iQ-R
series system that consists of the CR800-R/CR860-R controller standard equipment (Items No.1 through No.4).
As described in the standard specifications, up to three robots can be connected to modules (CPU No.2 to No.4)
in the MELSEC iQ-R series multiple CPU system, and four CPU modules in that system use one master/local
module.
