Module access instruction
I/O refresh
REF(P)/RFS(P)
These instructions refresh the (n) points of devices starting from the device specified by (s), and receive an external input or
generate an output.
The REF(P) instructions can also be used as RFS(P).

Processing details
• This function refreshes only the corresponding devices in the middle of a scan and receives an external input or generates
an output.
• Since the input receptions and external outputs are performed at one time only after the END instruction is executed in the
program, a pulse signal cannot be output externally in the middle of a scan. The execution of the I/O refresh instruction
forcibly refreshes the corresponding input (X) or output (Y) in the middle of program execution, and then a pulse signal can
be output externally in the middle of a scan.
• To refresh an input (X) or an output (Y) in 1 point units, use the direct access input (DX) or the direct access output (DY).
