POINT
The following are the maximum numbers of protocols and packets that can be
registered.
• Protocols: Up to 128
• Packets: Up to 256
Once a protocol is registered, a packet determined for each protocol is registered
to the packet data area.
Because of this, the available number of protocols is 127 or less when:
1) The number of registered packets reached the maximum (256).
2) The usage rate of the packet data area reached 100%.
The usage rate of the packet data area can be confirmed in GX Configurator-SC
(Pre-defined protocol support function).
Note that the usage rate of the packet data area varies by protocol.
