POINT 
 
(1)    When connecting each device's send signal line in system configuration of n:1 
or m:n communication 
Turning ON "Output Control Input" at 2 or more locations means that data are 
output (sent) from the devices simultaneously. 
For normal data communications, the following settings are necessary on the 
opposite device side. 
•  Set the "Output Control Input" so that it is in the ON state only when 
sending data. 
•  Set the "Output Control Input" so that it is in the OFF state when data are 
not being sent. 
The QD51-R 24 side automatically controls the output control input.

that such data are discarded by the BASIC program.
