5-1	Synchronous Operation between Modules
Sync and ASync Modes
Sync Mode			The Coordinator Module and Motion Control Modules are normally set to
			operate using the same cycle time, i.e., synchronously. Synchronous opera-
			tion is the default setting in the System Setup. With this setting, all Motion
			Control Modules synchronize operation with the Coordinator Module cycle
			time. This allows synchronous control of up to 8 axes.

ASync Mode			The Motion Control Modules can be operated at high-speed in ASync Mode.
			Some delays in peripheral servicing may occur, but ASync Mode is useful for
			increasing the speed of overall system operation.
