efreshing Method Oper
ation
An example of operation for each I/O refreshing method is provided in the following figure. This exam-
ple contains NX Units that operate with synchronous I/O refreshing in DC Mode and other NX Units that
operate with Free-Run refreshing.
Operation is as follows in Free-Run Mode:
• The NX bus refresh cycle is not synchronized with the primary period or process data communica-
tions cycle. The NX bus operates on its own cycle.
• The refresh cycle of the NX bus and the I/O refresh cycles of the NX Units are asynchronous.
