8.7.2.4 Precautions for Allocating Link Areas

A mistake in the link area allocation will cause an error, and communication will be disabled.
Avoid overlapping send areas
When sending data from the send area to the receive area of another PLC, send and receive
areas must match. In the example shown below, there is an overlapping area between units
no. 2 and 3, and this will cause an error, so that communication cannot be carried out.
