Although the communication cassette has adequate noise protection, the user program should execute a
retransmission when a communication error occurs. This improves reliability of the communication when
communication errors due to excessive noise occur or when the receiver equipment cannot receive
temporarily.

For RS232C connections, the maximum number of stations is 2.
