In the example above, devices from D1000 to D1033 (34 points from the head device number of D) and from M4000 to M4223
(224 points from the head device number of M) are occupied. Other devices can be used as general control devices.
Link devices for unconnected slave stations can be used as general control devices; however, it is recommended to save the
unoccupied link devices for the slave stations to be used in the future.

The link devices are allocated as above and the link device numbers are different according to the station number (for the FX3
series, the numbers are fixed). However, the link device numbers are linked to the corresponding devices.
The link device head number of FX5 PLC can be set individually for each station; however, unifying the numbers in the system
is recommended to prevent disordered numbers.
Link time
The link time indicates the cycle time from the start of parameter message editing until link devices are updated and
parameter message editing is restarted.
The link time varies depending on the number of linked units (master station and slave stations) and the number of linked
devices as shown in the table below.
