2.8.2 Direct mode
In a direct mode, the CPU module performs I/O processing when each instruction is executed in a sequence
program.
With this mode, the CPU module uses the direct access input (DX) and direct access output (DY) to perform I/O
processing.
(1) Outline of the processing
The following describes the details of the Direct processing.
*1 Data in the programming tool input area can be turned on or off by the following:
•Test operation of a programming tool
•Writing data from the network module
•Writing data from an external device using the MC protocol
• Writing data using the simple PLC communication function
*2 Data in the output (Y) device memory can be turned on or off by the following:
•Test operation of a programming tool
•Writing data from an external device using the MC protocol
•Writing data from the network module
• Writing data using the simple PLC communication function
