1.3.1 Link Transmission Between Controllers
Link transmission at a maximum baud rate of 4Mbps is possible between the GL series programmable controllers
and the MP2000 series machine controllers simply by performing I/O assignment. It is possible to connect up to a
maximum of 32 PCLINK-compatible devices in a single network. The per-station data output size is 256 words
maximum, and the total size on a network is 2048 words for registers and 2048 bits for coils (1024 words per register
and 1024 discrete bits in networks including GL40, 60, 70).
*The station arrangement does not require a numerical order.
