(7) Array block size
When [block] is selected in [Array setting], [array block size] setting is available.
Usually, the block size need not be changed because the it is automatically adjusted to avoid duplication of
components.
Change [array block size] when:
• Setting a desired number for the start device No. of each block.
• Adding any component in the future.
The following example explains the cases where [array block size] is manually set and is not set.
(Example) When [Component D] is to be added in the future
• When 10 is set for [array block size], device numbers are not changed.
• When nothing is set for [array block size], device numbers in and after array No.2 are changed.
