1 OVERVIEW
(3) Providing versatile communication services
(a) Reading data from and writing data to intelligent function modules mounted
on remote I/O stations are easy.
There are four methods available for reading and writing.
1) Use GX Configurator to make the initial settings and automatic refresh
settings with intelligent function module parameters, and write them
into the remote I/O module in the remote I/O station.
By refreshing the intelligent function module data to the link register W
of the remote I/O module based on the auto refresh settings, the
remote master station can read/write refreshed data by cyclic
transmission.

2) Link dedicated instructions can be used to directly read from or write to
the buffer memory of the intelligent module.
• REMFR instruction: Reads data from the buffer memory of the
remote I/O station intelligent function module.
• REMTO instruction: Writes data to the buffer memory of the remote
I/O station intelligent function module.
