6.3.3  Initial setting 
  When power is turned ON, EH-SIO will be in idle state (initial setting waiting from CPU module). Operation in 
modbus master mode is started by initial setting from CPU module. 
  In addition, once initial setting is completed, the setting cannot be changed, unless CPU module is stopped or 
EH-SIO is reset. 
« Note » 
In there is no initial setting, EH-SIO will not receive any other command from CPU module and external device 
than initializing command.
