Appendix 8 Differences in Cyclic Transmission
Modes
This section describes the differences in "Communication Mode" for the master/local module. Refer to the information of each
mode to select "Communication Mode".
Differences in performance specifications
Differences in link scan time
The following table lists the link scan times for each communication mode when each station is assigned 128 points in "RX/RY
Setting" and 64 points in "RWw/RWr Setting" in "Network Configuration Settings" of "Basic Settings", and when the number of
connected stations increases.
*1 When the total number of stations in the network is eight or less, the performance is equivalent to the one when "High-Speed" is
selected.
