Remote I/O Slave Communication State
The operating status (running/stopped) of the remote I/O slaves cannot be switched. Remote I/O slaves always perform I/O
refresh. While remote I/O slaves have no communication with the remote I/O master, they are in "Disconnected" state and all their
outputs are off. Once the communication is established with the remote I/O master, they are in "Connected" state and the I/O
states start to be exchanged between the master and the slaves.
Status
The communication between the remote I/O master and slave is established.
Connected The digital inputs and analog inputs of the slave are reflected on the master.
