Data communication functions
Data communication becomes possible once the IC card has been activated by the card polling
function.
Communication ends once the NFC module has received response information from the IC card in
response to a transmitted command, or when the timeout elapses.
When the communication is successful, the IC card remains in the activated mode, thus enabling
consecutive transmission of other data.

until receipt of a response from the IC card exceeds the above-mentioned 60 milliseconds.
