4.2.2 Setting the Transmission Cycle
The transmission cycle and number of stations that can be set with the NS115 are shown
below.ì
* When the transmission cycle is 0.5 ms, set the communications cycle in
multiples of 1.0 ms.
Note: 1. When the number of stations actually connected is less than the
number of connectable stations, the remaining channels, up to 7,
can be used as communications retry channels.
(Number of communications retry channels = Number of
connnectable stations - Number of actual stations connected+1)
2. When not using communications retry, the number of connnectable
stations is the number in Table 4.1 increased by one.
3. Connect a repeater for more than 16 stations.
