3-10 Starting and Stopping Remote I/O Communications
These commands can temporarily change the Master Unit’s remote I/O commu-
nications status.
There is a setting in the Master parameters (“Start Remote I/O Communication
at Startup” in the I/O Allocation window) that determines the Master Unit’s
remote I/O communications status when it starts up. (See page 65 for details.)
The Master Unit’s remote I/O communications can also be started or stopped
temporarily with a Master Unit software switch operation. Refer to the Compo-
Bus/D (DeviceNet) Operation Manual for details.
If an allocation is not made for a Slave, the Master of the Slave and I/O commu-
nications will stop and it will not be possible to start them from either the software
switches or the CompoBus/D Configurator.
