The I/O isn’t simultaneous.

Observe the following precautions when writing application programs:

 

• The simultaneity of node-units of data is ensured between the PC and

 

DeviceNet Unit.

 

• In OMRON slaves, the simultaneity of word-units of data is ensured.

 

• If another company’s slave is being used, refer to that slave’s user’s
