work status (PASS/FAIL) to manufacturing equipment" and "real-time notification of input from
manufacturing equipment to watch type transmission and reception device".
In addition, by connecting with WCL plus, it is possible to link with manufacturing facilities by "notifying the
signal input from the manufacturing equipment and PLC with "vibration" message to a remote human and
"real-time notification of input from the manufacturing facility to a watch type transmission and reception
device".
＜feature＞

For WCP-EXL and WCP-232, use the mounting holes on the main unit and fix them in a safe stable place.
Also, WCP-EXL and WCP-232 are not dust-proof / drip-proof structures.
Do not install in the following places
・Places exposed to direct sunlight
・Places where the humidity is high
Connect the LAN port of WCP-EXL to the LAN port of HUB or PC with a LAN cable.
WCP-EXL does not have the AutoMDI / MDI-X function to determine the LAN port, so it is directly
connected to the PC LAN port.
When connecting, use a cross-connected LAN cable.
