PROGRAMMING
(2) Dedicated instruction execution timing
Dedicated instructions can be executed at the timing shown below.
When using the automatic communication function and dedicated instructions on the 
same channel, set an appropriate request interval timer value and create a proper 
program so that dedicated instructions can be executed in the right timing.(  This 
section (3))
Example: When automatic communication parameters 1 to 3 are set
 * 1  Shows the case that the response monitoring timer has timed out due to no response from the 
target slave
(3) Method for normally executing dedicated instructions
(Step 1)
Make setting in at least one of the automatic communication parameters so that 
the time for dedicated instruction execution can be ensured. (  This section 
(4) (a))
(Step 2)
Design the program so that dedicated instructions will be executed in the standby 
status of the automatic communications set in the above (Step 1).(  This 
section (4) (b))
