Transmission Bytes, Communication Cycle, Number of Retries to Slaves, Number of Slaves
Transmission bytes, communication cycle, number of retries to slaves, and number of slaves at execution of self-con-
figuration will be automatically set according to conditions including communication type, station type (Master or
Slave), and the largest slave station number (the largest number among the detected slave station numbers).
