Fast Link-Up Function

This function shortens the time taken for data link establishment with the master station at power-on.
With this function, the time taken to change tools can be shortened in the system with a tool change mechanism (tool
changer) for tools that attach to the end of an industrial robot arm.
The data link time varies depending on the number of connected modules or cable length. When eight I/O modules are
connected (excluding the I/O module directly connected to the master module) and the station-to-station distance is 30m, data
link is established in 0.5s on average.
