(3) Reduction of link device refresh time
The link device refresh time can be shortened by reducing the number of refresh
points to the C Controller module, setting proper refresh parameters/network range
assignment parameters and making direct access to the link devices.
(a) Concept of refresh range (points)
Within the range set in the refresh parameters, the range of all stations set in the
network range assignment parameters (Stations 1 to 3) covering "first address to
last address" is refreshed.
POINT
The range from the first to the last addresses is set as the initial setting of the
refresh parameters (Clicking the Default button on the Refresh parameter setting
screen on the <<Parameter setting>> tab of the MELSECNET/H utility brings it
back to the initial setting).
