10-2-3 Operations when Changing Data Link Tables
The Controller Link Unit/Support Board that receives the command from the
CX-Programmer version 3.2 or higher to change a data link table with active
data links will temporarily stop refreshing data with the PLC, change to the
new data link table (data link refresh allocation) and then resume refreshing
data links.
Nodes with data link tables that are changed will send the data from immedi-
ately before the tables were changed while PLC data link refreshing is
stopped.
