*1. Discontinuation models in July 2012.
*2. The maximum distance between nodes depends on the processing method for connectors and cables.
*3. With wired models, the maximum number of nodes is 32 if Repeater Units are not used. A Repeater Unit is required
       when building a network with more than 32 nodes. If a Repeater Unit is used, be sure to use only the following
       Controller Link Units or Boards and set the Wired Network 62 Node Enable Bit in the DM Parameter Area software
       switches at all nodes.
         CS1W-CLK23/CLK21-V1 *1
         CJ1W-CLK23/CLK21-V1 *1
         3G8F7-CLK23-E/CLK21-EV1 *1
*4. CX-Net in CX-Programmer version 3.1 or earlier can be used only in a system with a maximum of 32 nodes (node
       address 1 to 32). If a system is to be used with a maximum of 62 nodes (node addresses 1 to 62), use CX-Net in
       CX-Programmer version 3.2 or higher or the CX-Integrator.
*5. If duplex Controller Link Units are used, the effective maximum number of nodes will be 62 (i.e., the maximum
       number of nodes in standby mode (STB)).
*6. CS-series PLCs do not have a Link Area, but LR000 to LR199 are automatically converted CIO 1000 to CIO 1199.
*7. Only when a CS1W-CLK13/12-V1 *1/53/52-V1 *1 installed in a CS1D system is used in token ring mode.
