Repeat Counter
The number (N) of times to repeat the step is set within a range from 0 to 255.
It is possible to change messages by making use of the number (N).
Note In this example, the samemessageissenttothreeSlaveswith addressesdiffer-
ent to each other. Therefore,the number is set to3 in word S + 1. The number of
Slaves is specified by the operand. Therefore, select Word, use the Edit com-

Command
Set the commands, such as Send, Recv, and Send & Recv.
Note Only the Send & Recv command is used for communications with the 3G3MV
except for sending broadcast messages, in which case the Send & Recv com-
mand is used.
No. of Retries
Set the number of times to retry the command within a range from 0 to 9.
Note It is recommended that the number be set to 3 or larger. If a transmission error
occurs due to noise, the transmission of the command will be retried. If the num-
ber is set to 3, an error will be detected if the transmission fails three times.
Send Wait Time
The waiting time until the data is sent.
Note For communications with the 3G3MV, if data is repeatedly transmitted to the
same Slave, set the waiting time to 10 ms or more.
Inthisexample,theDSRmessageissenttoSlaves1,2,and3onebyone.There-
fore, no send wait time is set.
