The following compatibility information concerns the address settings supported by the different connectable devices.

A programming terminal equipped with a TSX FPC 10 card or PCMCIA card TSX FPP 20 must be connected to Fipio address 63.

Control Expert operates in online mode with the Fipio manager PLC.

If the manager PLC has a project in which one or more agent devices are configured, Control Expert communicates with the Premium agent Fipio PLCs.

Exchanges from a third-party device to a PLC connected as a Fipio agent are only possible if the PLC is Premium. There is no communication to a Micro-type PLC.

It is impossible to download a Control Expert project to the manager from a programming terminal. In fact, downloading causes the PLC to switch to STOP, which makes Fipio communication no longer managed by the bus arbiter. However, it is possible to download a Control Expert project to a Fipio agent PLC.
