Then, obtain the time duration (D) required for the RS-485 command transmission
from the N-400 to the BL series. When the reading start command (LON) or read-
ing end command (LOFF) is sent to the BL series, for example, the communication
time is as follows:

From the above data, the total communication time (E) can be obtained as follows:

Maximum time: E = C + b + D

* b: Time required for the data transmission from the BL series to the N-400 when
the BL series has stored some data

Minimum time: E = C + D
