You can specify the device address if direct access is used to communicate with the connection device (PLC).
When using a device/PLC address in the logic program, do not mix input and output variables within a word address. As the display unit processes in word units, an unintended value may be written depending on the timing.
See the following for more details on the Direct Access Method.
