6.4.6 Increasing the number of cyclic points
This function increases the number of cyclic points.
When increasing the number of cyclic points, select one of the following two modes.
• Remote net ver. 2 mode
Mode suitable for configuring a new system
• Remote net additional mode
Mode suitable for adding a ver. 2 compatible slave station to the existing ver. 1 system
Caution
In the remote net ver. 1 mode, the number of cyclic points cannot be increased.
The expanded cyclic points are extendable within the range shown in the following table.
However, determine the range based on the maximum number of connectable stations with the whole
system.
Maximum number of connectable stations
1) Remote I/O stations: 8 maximum
*1
(Each station occupies 32 I/O points of the PLC.)
*1. Up to 4 stations can be connected to the FX
3G PLC.
2) Remote device stations + Intelligent device stations ≤ 8 maximum
(The total number of RX/RY points is 256 or less.)
