9. Monitoring communication data
On/off data for the host controller device and controller I/O can be monitored via the programming box or
the SCARA-YRCX Studio support software. This can be used to check the input/output addresses during setup
or for debugging.
CAUTION
Since the display update interval of the programming box and of SCARA-YRCX Studio is longer than the data
update interval of I/O information, there may be cases in which accurate information is not shown if the on/off
interval of the I/O information is short.
