2.1 Features
A 263IF-01 Module can perform I/O communication, explicit message communication and engineering communica-
tion.
2.1.1 I/O Communication
In I/O communication (Class 1), communication of time-critical control data is possible. This type of communication is
mainly used between scanners and adaptors in a 1:1 or 1:N configuration.
I/O communication using the 263IF-01 Module provides both the scanner and adaptor functions and supports a maxi-
mum of 64 connected devices (scanner devices and adapter devices). The scanner and adaptor functions operate simul-
taneously.
The following figure illustrates communication between scanners and adaptors.
The communication trigger for an I/O communication is as follows.
Type Scanner/Adaptor Remarks
