*1. Data will be refreshed at the set interval, regardless of the number of nodes.
*2. The approximate I/O response time of the tag data link is determined by the relationship between the packet interval
      and the number of connections.
*3. “pps” means packets per second, i.e., the number of communications packets that can be sent or received in one
      second.
      If the packet interval (RPI) is 0.5 ms, then this will be 30,000 pps.
*4. When the Unit is performing tag data link communications where the allowable communications bandwidth per Unit is
      close to or greater than 30,000 pps, the following functions may not be used properly. In that case, use the built-in
      EtherNet/IP port on the CPU Unit or an EtherNet/IP port of a different NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit.
      • Connecting the Sysmac Studio online from the EtherNet/IP port of the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
      • Connecting the Network Configurator online from the EtherNet/IP port of the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
      • Connecting the NA-series Programmable Terminal online from the EtherNet/IP port of the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
      • Port forward via the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
      • CIP message communications
      • SNMP function
      These functions of the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit can be used via X Bus from the built-in EtherNet/IP port on the CPU
      Unit or an EtherNet/IP port of a different NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit.
*5. As the EtherNet/IP port implements the IGMP client, unnecessary multi-cast packets can be filtered by using an
      Ethernet switch that supports IGMP Snooping.
*6. CIP Safety communications and tag data links cannot be used together in one NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
