Mode Setting Functions for PDO Communications

Outline of Operation
 Application
There are two modes for data refreshing with PDO communications. Select the mode based on the
number of input data to assign for PDO communications and the refresh cycle. *
* In this section, the refresh cycle applies to data in the Sensor Communication Unit. This is not the refresh
cycle for data between the Sensor Communication Unit and the master.
• Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the assigned inputs may not be refreshed every cycle, but you can assign a
large amount of input data.
• Detection Level Speed Priority Mode
With this mode, you can assign less input data than with Normal Mode, but the assigned data,
such as the detection levels, are refreshed every cycle.
In either mode, I/O data are refreshed every cycle.
