* Normally the node address of the PLC master is set to 63.
(3) Setting the Gateway Unit mode
Set the operation mode of the Gateway Unit using the mode setting switch SW1 (refer to 2.3).
The settings of this switch determine the I/O size of the Gateway Unit. Accordingly, register this
information in the master as a slave-station I/O assignment setting. (Refer to 8.4.3.)
