Precautions for Correct Use
If you set a tag data link with a short packet interval (RPI) when many NX Units are connected
to the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal, a Tag Data Link Timeout may occur depending on the load
conditions on the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal. If that occurs, increase the length of the packet
interval (RPI) or reduce the number of NX Units that are mounted.
