Reserved Station Specification And Temporary Cancel Of Reserved Station Setting - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q Series User Manual

8.5 Reserved Station Specification and Temporary Cancel of Reserved Station Setting

Reserved station specification allows setting of a station that is not actually connected at
present but will be connected to the network in the future (must be included in the total
number of stations on the network). Reserved stations are not detected as faulty stations
even though they are not actually connected.
When the reserved station function is disabled, a slave station specified as a reserved station
can be canceled temporarily without changing the GX Works2 setting.
The devices which can specify reserved station specification and temporary cancel of
reserved station setting are the asynchronous communication devices. The synchronous
communication devices cannot specify reserved station specification or temporary cancel of
reserved station setting.
