Network synchronous communication with multiple cycles
When slave stations with different communication cycles (excluding local stations) coexists, cyclic transmission between
stations is performed according to the communication cycle. For the cyclic transmission of the master station and a remote
station, data can be transmitted to other stations after two cycles.
The following figure shows the cyclic transmission timing when "Communication Period Setting" in "Network Configuration
Settings" is set to "Normal-Speed".

(1) The communication cycle timing can be checked with the 'Communication cycle timing' (Un\G1277440 to Un\G1277441) of the buffer memory. The timing of
data refreshed in the CPU module can also be checked with this buffer memory area. The 0th bit in this buffer memory area is turned on during the first (1/
4) cycle for normal speed. In addition, the 15th bit in this buffer memory area is turned on during the last (4/4) cycle for normal speed. ( Page 474
Communication cycle timing)
To perform network synchronous communication when multiple cycles coexist, set the setting of the local
station to "Basic Period" for "Communication Period Setting" in "Network Configuration Settings".
