Transient transmission of when the submaster function is used
In transient transmission, communications can be performed with other stations when requests are issued using dedicated
instructions. Communications with different networks is also possible. Transient transmission can be performed from either
the master station or submaster station. (Note, however, that the REMFR, REMTO, REMFRD, and REMTOD instructions can
be executed only from the master operating station.)
For details on dedicated instructions, refer to the following.
