Additional Information
• Change the Tag Data Link Communications Start Switch to TRUE, while the Tag Data Link
Communications Stop Switch is F
ALSE.
If the Tag Data Link Communications Stop Switch is TRUE, the tag data links do not start
even if the Tag Data Link Communications Start Switch is changed to TRUE.
Furthermore, if the Tag Data Link Start Switch and the Tag Data Link Stop Switch are both
TRUE, an error occurs, the Multiple Switches ON Error system-defined variable changes to
TRUE, and the event is recorded in the event log.
• After you start the tag data links, do not force the Tag Data Link Communications Start Switch
to change to FALSE from the user program or from the Sysmac Studio. It will change to
FALSE automatically.
