When the V9 series has a problem, it is temporarily removed from the communication targets, and
the master sends an inquiry for restoration every number of cycles specified for [Retry Cycle]. This
setting does not affect the communication speed if no problem is occurring; however, if there is any
problem, it does affect the communication speed.
When the setting value is small: Restoration will not take long.
When the setting value is large: Restoration will take a longer time.
