Communicating with the FD-MH series
IN area
n: The first device number assigned to the DL-DN1
The device assignments  are the same for all 5-output modes including extended
modes.
The following describes how the DeviceNet mas ter unit communicates with the DL-
DN1 (slave u nit) using I/O communication (polling).

Reading an output from a sensor amplifier
Available outputs: Outpu t 1, Output 2, and Output 3
Device assignments: "Output" (page 3-9)
This example reads output 1 from the sensor amplifier of ID01.
It assumes that the operating mode assigned to the device is 3-ou tput mode.
(1)The output from the sensor amplifier is brought into the IN area by I/O 
communication.
