5.3.3 Synchronous Mode Data Input/Output
When outputting: Output data to slave devices from the T2/T2E/T2N is written into the output data
area of the DN211. Then, an output data semaphore or bit strobe output data
semaphore is used for commanding a polling instruction or bit strobe instruction.
When receiving the polling instruction / bit strobe instruction, the DN211 will
transmit the written output data to slave devices.
When inputting: The DN211 receives data from slave devices in polling response / bit strobe
response. When Completing receiving data from all slave devices, the DN211
will update data in the input data area. Then, an input data semaphore is used for
notifyingthe T2/T2E/T2N of the input completion.
When reading input data, the T2/T2E/T2N read data after checking for input
completion by the DN211.

Figure 5.5 Synchronous Mode Data Input/Output
How to Use an Output/Input Data Semaphore (for synchronous mode only):
Figure 5.6 illustrates the relation between the output data semaphore (polling/bit strobe) and the
input data semaphore. The squares in oblique lines indicate the value of individual semaphores are
set to "1."
When devices with the polling system and bit strobe system are intermingled, use of the input data
semaphore register is shared by the polling mode and bit strobe mode. Therefore, input/output data
must be processed alternatively after the other mode completes the processing, as shown
below:
