8.4 Reserved station specification and reserved station
function disable
Reserved station specification allows setting of a station that is not actually connected at present but will be connected
to the network in the future (must be included in the total number of stations for the network). Reserved stations are not
detected as faulty stations even though they are not actually connected.
When the reserved station function is disabled, a slave station specified as a reserved station can be canceled
temporarily without changing the GX Developer setting.
(1) Reserved station specification
A slave station can be specified as a reserved station in the Network Configuration Setting. ( Page 81,
Section 7.3)
(2) Reserved station function disable and cancel
This is used when connecting a reserved-status slave station to the network. For details on the reserved station
function disable, refer to Page 142, Section 9.6.
This cannot be performed when the safety CPU operation mode is on the safety mode.
Select "Reserved Station".
