14-2-5 RPI Setting Examples
The following examples explain how to calculate the packet intervals (RPIs) in the following network
configuration.
• Connections:
Example:Seventeen NJ501-1300 Units are connected to the network.
Each device has one 100-word tag for transmission and sixteen 100-word tags for recep-
tion, so that the Units exchange data mutually. By default, the packet intervals (RPIs) are
set to 120 ms for all of the connections. The devices’ IP addresses range from
192.168.250.1 to 192.168.250.17.
