Chapter 10. PLC Link Communication 10 - 1 Data Transfer PLC link communication is a function for transferring data between the PLC and this controller. There are two transfer types: “Cyclic data transfer” and “Triggered data transfer. ” The type of transfer can be set in the PLC link settings of the SLP-C7 Smart Loader Package. The upper limits for the number of transfer processes and number of sheets are shown below.
