(3) Link operation function
The master connected to the CH1 side (RS-232) can communicate with multiple 
slaves connected to the CH2 side (RS-422/485) via the QJ71MB91.
This function allows the MODBUS  master device with RS-232 interface (for one-on-
one communication) to communicate with multiple MODBUS slave devices.
(4) Supporting high-speed communication of 115200 bps.
The total transmission speed of up to 115200bps is available for Channel 1 and 2.
(5) Easy setting by GX Configurator-MB
GX Configurator-MB, which is separately available, allows easy configuration of the 
QJ71MB91.
It can reduce programing steps for sequence programs, and the setting and operating 
states of each module can be checked easily.
Therefore, GX Configurator-MB is recommended to be used for the QJ71MB91.
By setting various parameters in GX Configurator-MB, the QJ71MB91 can 
communicate without creating sequence programs.
