5. Referring to communication data
The ON/OFF information exchanged with the master station PLC can be referred to using
the programming unit (RPB for RCX221/222 or MPB for other controllers; hereafter called
"MPB/RPB"). Note that the MPB/RPB display update interval is longer than the CC-Link
data update interval, so if the ON/OFF interval is short, accurate information may not be
displayed.

Referring to the data from the programming unit
The data exchanged with the master station PLC can be referred to with the MPB/RPB. The
reference unit is the robot controller input/output port No.
