Programming for when the submaster function is used
This section describes the programming of when the submaster function is used. For other programming, refer to the
following.
• Cyclic transmission:
• Transient transmission:
(1) Programming for cyclic transmission
After checking that data link is normally performed, create a program to control slave stations.
(a) Use of data stored in RY/RWw of the master operating station
Even after the control is shifted to the submaster operating station, sending data in the master operating station
is not transferred to the submaster operating station. Therefore, the submaster operating station needs to
produce the same sending data as the master operating station. Create a program where sending data (RY/
RWw) is produced based on receiving data (RX/RWr).
