The FA-M3 R supports remote operation maintenance and engineering (OME), hereafter referred to as Remote OME.
Remote OME via Ethernet
The FA-M3 R is the world's first* PLC that supports remote maintenance of multiple devices installed in distant locations, via an Ethernet connection. A camera at the device location can relay a live picture of the device to the person performing the remote maintenance procedure.
