Precautions for Correct Use
The maximum divided data size is limited by the maximum communications data size of the
connected communications master or Communications Coupler Unit. Refer to the user’s man
-
ual for the connected communications master or Communications Coupler Unit
for the limit to
the divided data size.
Optimizing Divided Data Sizes When Transmission Buffering Is Enabled
If transmission buffering is enabled, the send data is sent to the serial line only after all of the
send data is passed from the CPU Unit or communications master to the CIF Unit. Therefore, to
improve communications performance, you can adjust the divided data sizes to minimize divi-
sions of send data that is sent from the CPU Unit or comm
uni
cations master to the CIF Unit.
The optimum divided data size is determined by the send data size as
given in the following
table.
Send data size Optimum divided data size
80 bytes or more 80 bytes
Less than 80 bytes A size that is larger than the send data size
