PREFACE
■Objectives and intended readership
The MB2142-03 support tool (parallel communications adapter) is designed to enable the
development and evaluation of products based on the F2MC* family.
The MB2142-03 is connected to the main unit (MB2141).
This enables the main unit to perform parallel communication with the host machine (such as a
personal computer).
This manual describes the handling and connection of the MB2142-03. It is aimed at engineers
responsible for the development of products based on the F2MC, using the MB2142-03.
