This function triggers an interrupt program at the fixed scan communication cycle set in a parameter. An interrupt program
executed at the fixed scan communication cycle is called a multiple CPU synchronous interrupt program. Using the multiple
CPU synchronous interrupt enables synchronizing with the fixed scan communication cycle so that data communication
between CPU modules can be made. (It allows synchronizing the data communication timing between CPU modules.)

Data reading of other CPU modules (refresh): Data sent from other CPU modules is read to a device or a label. (Data is read from the receive area of the
host CPU module.)
Operation processing: The multiple CPU synchronous interrupt program is executed.
Data sending of other CPU modules (refresh): Data to be sent to other CPU modules is written from a device or a label. (Data is written to the send area of
the host CPU module.)
The operation methods required when an interrupt factor occurs and the program creating methods are the
same as those for normal interrupt program. ( Page 115 Interrupt Program)
