time the system is started up, but the operator must make sure that recognition has been
carried out the first time that the S−LINK unit is used. Following the procedure noted
below, check to make sure that recognition has been carried out.

If the S−LINK system is being operated for the first time, turn on the power supply and
then press the system SET button.

by S−LINK unit blinks on the address display in hexadecimal (HEX.) number, and then,
a " " shaped character rotates in the clockwise direction.
If the actual number of connected devices differs from the number displayed above,
since an unrecognized S−LINK I/O device exists, please check for address overlapping,
misconception, etc..
The number of devices is displayed after the power supply is turned on.
15 (hexadecimal) = 21 (decimal) devices
