Appendix 6 Precautions for Using Serial Communication Module
The dedicated instructions of the serial communication module for the module mounted to
the extension base unit cannot be used in the redundant CPU system.
For the functions to communicate using the dedicated instructions, create programs by
using the FROM/TO instruction.
The dedicated instruction applicable in the serial communication module and the
changeability by the FROM/TO instruction are shown in Table.App 13.
* 1: Station number or operating status (independent/linked) cannot be changed.
A sample program of the serial communication module where dedicated instructions are
changed to the FROM/TO instruction is described in the next section or later.
For the precautions at system switching, refer to Section 7.4.
