Applicable devices are X, Y, M, L, B, T, C, ST, D, W, R and ZR.
When using bit devices X, Y, M, L or B, set a number that can be divided by 16 
points (examples: X10, Y120, M16, etc.)
Also, buffer memory data are stored in a 16-point area, starting from the 
specified device number.
For example, if X10 is entered, data are stored in X10 to X1F.
The devices available for MELSECNET/H remote I/O modules are X, Y, M, B, 
D and W.

POINT
1. The auto refresh settings are stored in an intelligent function module 
parameter file.
After the intelligent function module parameters have been written to the 
programmable controller CPU, the auto refresh setting is enabled when the 
programmable controller is powered ON from OFF or the programmable 
controller CPU is reset (with programmable controller CPU’s RUN/STOP 
switch set to RUN).
2. The auto refresh settings cannot be changed from sequence programs.
However, processing equivalent to auto refresh can be added using the 
FROM/TO instruction in the sequence program.
Creates a file containing the screen data in text file format.
Saves the set data and ends the operation.
Cancels the setting and ends the operation.
