5-2-8 Input Refreshing with Input Changed Time
• You can select to either detect changes at the input rising edge, or at the input falling edge. Make the
setting in advance.
• NX Units that support input refreshing with input changed time do not have an input filter function.
• You can select at which point the input changed times are recorded when the inputs change more
than one time during the NX bus I/O refresh cycle. Make the setting in advance.
• The input changed times are retained if the inputs do not change.
• Sync0, the timing of reading inputs, and the maximum NX bus I/O refresh cycle for multiple Slave
Terminals are automatically calculated by the Sysmac Studio according to the input refresh cycles of
the NX Units in the Slave Terminals when the Slave Terminals are configured and set up.
