Set the last station number for a data link. 
This eliminates the processing of data link 
to the non-connected stations, reducing the 
link refresh time. 
If the value is set beyond the number of 
connectable stations (refer to Section 
3.6.2), the setting will be ignored.

4 occupied stations: Station 1 to 28 
8 occupied stations (4 occupied stations 
 2 modules): Station 1 to 56

stations within the setting range.
