2 MULTIPLE CPU SYSTEM

POINT

The processing performance of automatic refresh improves when devices are transmitted in 2 word sets. Therefore, it is recommended to set the start device as 2 word unit by inputting an even device number.

1)Operation example of automatic refresh

a)Parameter setting

The example of setting automatic refresh is shown below.

• CPU No.1 (PLC CPU) (GX Developer)	• CPU No.2 (Motion CPU) (MT Developer)
Set the device transmitted to CPU No.2.	Set the device received from CPU No.1.

Set the device received from CPU No.2.

Set the device transmitted to CPU No.1.

(Note) : The operation example of automatic refresh is shown on the next page.
