Notes 
on programming 
Data communication with 
a 
remote 
1/0 
station 
is 
on 
a 
batch  refresh 
basis 
after  the 
END 
(or 
FEND) 
instruction 
is 
executed in  the master 
station  program. 
For  detailed  data  link  specifications,  refer  to the Data  Link  Unit 
User’s  Manual. 
(1 
) 
There 
is 
a 
short 
time delay in the  communication of control 
data 
between  master  and  remote 
1/0 
stations  which  must  be  allowed 
for when  specifying  the  system. 
(2) 
The following data communication  instructions are  used  between 
master  and  remote  stations: 
Data write  from master to AD71 
: 
RTOP instruction 
Data  read  from  AD71 to master 
: 
RFRP 
instruction 
Note  that  link  registers 
W, 
are  used  for  data  communication 
between  master  and  remote  stations. 
(3) 
The 
RTOP 
and 
RFRP 
instructions  cannot 
be 
executed  in the 
same  scan  for one  AD71  in 
a 
remote 
1/0 
station. (These  may 
be 
used  in the  same  scan  if  addressed  to separate  AD71  units.) 
All data communication  must  therefore  be  interlocked 
as 
shown 
in the examples that follow. 
1/0 
numbers  have  been  assigned 
as 
X0 
to 1F  and 
YO 
to  1F.

Control signals  between  master  and  remote  stations 
The  PLS  instruction must not be  used  for control 
1/0 
communi- 
cation.
