    As the PLC write accesses to the FG-200 Modbus registers are not synchronized with the cyclic data transfer in the H1 segment it is necessary that the PLC writes "oversample" the H1 macrocycle. If, for example, the macrocycle time in the H1 link is one second then it is assumed that the PLC writes fresh output data every 500 milliseconds.
