curs, without displaying an error message dialog box.
OFF: The PT will stop running when a communications error occurs and an error mes-
sage dialog box will be displayed. Press the OK Button in the error message dia-
log box to return to RUN mode. The default setting is OFF.
• Time-out Interval

The timeout interval can be set to between 1 and 10 (unit: s). Input the value by using the
tenkey or the Up ( ) and Down ( ) buttons that are displayed by pressing the display area.
The default setting is 3 s.
Note
Set the time-out interval to 3 s min. when using 1:N NT Links. If the time-out interval is less
than 3 s, abnormal communications may occur.
