10 CHANGING DATA COMMUNICATION
MONITORING TIME
The monitoring time is time used by C24 to monitor the receiving interval time between each byte when receiving data from
the target device, the programmable controller CPU processing time, and the time it takes to transmit to the target device.
The monitoring time can be set for each interface. C24 uses the monitoring time set by the user to control data transmission to
and reception from the target device.
Set the monitoring time in accordance with the specifications of the target device.
C24 monitoring times are listed below.
: Configurable : Non-configurable, : Not used
*1 Nonprocedural and no-reception monitoring time method
The C24 input signal which turns ON when the no-reception monitoring time (timer 0) timed out differs.
