Message monitor timer function (explicit
message communications)
You can set the response monitoring time for DeviceNet Units during
explicit message communications (the interval the explicit connection is
open) from the CX-Integrator for each device. (The settings for all devices
can be stored in the DeviceNet Unit. This is called the Message Monitor-
ing Timer List.)
