5-2-4 Free-Run Refreshing
z Inputs
• The Analog Input Units repeatedly perform AD conversion in the order of inputs for which the used
channels are set to enable. AD conversion is not synchronized with I/O refreshing of the NX bus.
• At the time of I/O refreshing, the CPU Unit reads the converted values from the NX Unit for one
Unit that AD conversion is complete before the timing to read inputs.
z Outputs
• The Analog Output Units repeatedly perform DA conversion in the order of outputs for which the
used channels are set to enable. The outputs are refreshed once per DA conversion cycle for one
Unit when DA conversion of the last output is complete. The refreshing is not synchronized with
I/O refreshing of the NX bus.
• At the time of I/O refreshing, the Analog Output Units perform DA conversion with the refreshed
output set values from the outputs before the start of conversion.
