Design and Operating Procedure Examples Section 1-6
Unit Number Unit number 5 is used.
Communications Mode
Number and Baud Rate
• Communications mode number: 3 (Mode 3 is selected because Word
Slave Units and Bit Slave Units are used.) Memory can be allocated in the
Special I/O Unit portion of the CIO Area, so a CX-Integrator setting is not
required.
• Baud rate: 3 Mbps (Branch lines are used, but not sub-branch lines. Also,
this baud rate can be used with a maximum trunk line length of 30 m.)
Communications Cycle
Time
The communications cycle time is 2.5 ms, at a baud rate of 3 Mbps in commu-
nications mode 3. Base calculations on a communications cycle time of 2.5
ms. (For details on I/O response times, refer to 5-3 Remote I/O Communica-
tions Performance.)
Note When less than the maximum number of nodes is used, the communications
cycle time is progressively shortened as the communications mode number
becomes smaller and as the baud rate is increased.
Registration Tables Registration tables are used.
• Registered Slave Unit Participation Standby Mode
Communications Error
Communications Stop
Mode
These are enabled.
