In companion with the PLC CPUs, MELSEC PLCs can pair with additional modules and adapters. These modules and adapters can add support for one or more of the following protocols: USB, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, Ethernet, and CC-Link. These protocols are used to program them, deploying different configurations. This is usually used to add new capabilities to a PLC.
