Precautions when allocating link areas
If a mistake is made when allocating a link area, be aware that an error will result, and
communication will be disabled.
Avoid overlapping transmitted areas
Whensendingdatafrom thetransmittedarea tothe receivedareaofanotherFPΣ,there
must be a link relay and link register with the same number in the received area on the
receiving side. In the example shown below, there is an area between No. 2 and No.
3 which is overlapped, and this will cause an error, so that communication cannot be
carried out.
