Communication operation with FR-E500

I am considering to save wiring between the FR-E520 and FX2N using 485BD communication.
Do you have a sample program for this?
I monitored communication between the FR-SW0-SETUP and E-500, the station number output from the computer was "65" although it had been set to "1".
Parity seems correct.
I tried to start link operation from the computer, but the link operation mode could not be enabled from any of the PU and EXT modes.
Why is this?
Do you plan to release the I/O link version of products in addition to the CC-Link version?

Answer

We have no sample program for RS485 communication.
Since the communication method of the FR-SW0-SETUP uses a different protocol from 485 communication and station numbers "100" to "131" are assigned to the FR-SW0-SETUP. That is, the station numbers "0" corresponds to "100" (= 64H), "1" corresponds to "101" (= 65H)???"31" corresponds to "131", and "65" is correct.
The E500 does not have "link operation mode". Use the PU mode for communication.
If you have another problem, check Pr.117 to Pr.124 and create a program using the data format given in the Instruction Manual.
We do not plan to release the I/O link version of products.
