You can specify forced refreshing from the Sysmac Studio for debugging. This allows you to change
process data output values to the slaves and input values from the slaves to the values that you specify
in advance.
Forced refreshing functions as shown in the following table for major fault level Controller errors and for
normal operation.
* If a major fault level Controller error occurs, the output values from before operation stopped are retained while
the slaves are in Operational state and the slave settings control the outputs after the slaves enter Safe-opera-
tional state.
