• When using an area within the fixed scan communication area
Data written to the area within the fixed scan communication area on the host CPU module using the write instruction is sent
to other CPU modules at the period specified in the fixed scan communication setting. Other CPU modules read the received
data using the read instruction. Unlike the refresh, data registered during the instruction execution can be directly read.
When data written to the fixed scan communication area on the CPU No.1 using the write instruction is read by CPU No.2
using the read instruction:
