Check whether the Slave is registered in the Master's scan list.
If an OMRON Master Unit is being used, a new Slave cannot be added to the network if
the Master is operating with the scan list enabled.
First clear the scan list, check that all the Slaves have joined the network, and then cre-

Check that the Slave's allocated I/O Area does not overlap with that of another Slave. If
there is an overlap, change the Slave's node address to eliminate the overlap.
Check that the allocated I/O Area does not exceed the allowable range shown below. If
the I/O Area exceeds this range, change the Slave's node address to correct the prob-
lem.
When using another company's Master Unit, check that the I/O size registered in the
Master's scan list matches the actual I/O size of the Slave.
The I/O size is recorded in the following attributes of the Connection Object:
Interface 2 (Polled I/O Connection)
Interface 4 (COS/cyclic Connection)
Produced Connection Size (input size)
Consumed Connection Size (output size)
and:
Interface 3 (Bit-strobed I/O Connection)
Produced Connection Size (input size)
