Timing specifications for instruction and response message
The cautions below are required with regard to the timing to transmit a instruction
message from the master station and a response message from the slave station.

Response monitor time
The maximum response time from the end of the instruction message transmission
by the master station until when the master station receives a response message
from the slave station is two seconds ((1) in the figure below). So, the response
monitor time should be set to two seconds.
Generally, when a response time-out occurs, the instruction message is resent.

Transmission start time
A wait time of 10ms is required before the master station starts to transmit the next
instruction message (to the same slave station or a different slave station) after the
end of receiving response message ((2) in the figure below).
