In the message transfer operation, the JW-50FL sends data non-cyclically.
Normally, when a request to send occurs, the FL-net will communicate with a certain node.

(1) Cyclic transfer
In a cyclic transfer, the FL-net has an 8 K bits + 8 K words = 8.5 K word transfer area.
The maximum amount of data that can be transferred cyclically at one time by one node is 8.5 K
words.
One word = 2 bytes.
