≪Cautionary notes on field networks≫
The YHX controllers are not equipped with a field network board.
Entering the activation code, which is issued for each host controller, into the host controller unit enables field
network functions.
The activation code certificate comes with a host controller unit.
* If purchasing a field network only later on, inform us of the serial number of the host controller unit because it is
necessary to issue the activation code.
* When the CC-Link option is selected, the CC-Link adapter × 1, CC-Link connector × 2, and CC-Link branch connector × 1 are supplied with the product.
When the CC-Link terminating connector is needed, order it separately.
