Triggered data transfer
Data from the controller is transferred to the PLC when the trigger device is
detected turning from OFF to ON. Data can also be transferred from the PLC to the
controller.
Major applications:
• Changing the controller settings (SP, PID, etc.) from the PLC
• Changing the controller operations (RUN/READY mode selection, etc.) from
the PLC
The controller executes triggered data transfer as follows.

(4) When transfer of the data specified for the sheet is complete, a completion
notification is written.
