For FP2/FP2SH, set the system registers 5 and 6 to the same value. This sets the timer to a non-hold
type and counter to a hold type.
By setting system register 5 to “0”, the whole area becomes the counter. Also, by setting it to the value 1
higher than the last number, the whole area becomes the timer.
Hold type area starting address (system registers 6 to 13)
Set each relay and register to a hold type or non-hold type.
For normal situations, set the system registers 5 and 6 to the same value. This sets the timer to a non-
hold type and counter to a hold type.
By setting this value to the first number, the whole area becomes hold type. Also, by setting it to the
valeu 1 higher than the last number, the whold area becomes non-hold type.
The relays and registers for links not specified in the send area of system registers 40 to 55 are non-hold
type regardless of what is set here.
