11.3.2 Synchronous and asynchronous ladder operation
You can specify settings for synchronous or asynchronous ladder processing with remote I/O transfer input
and output. Figure 11-6 describes synchronous and asynchronous ladder operation.
When ladder processing is asynchronous, ladder processing and remote I/O transfer operations are performed
individually. For this reason, you can have remote I/O transfers operate in a shorter time. However, because
the PI/O memory changes during ladder processing in one sequence cycle, actual ladder processing and
operation might differ from what is expected.
During synchronous ladder operation, the next remote I/O transfer operation is not performed until the ladder
processing during one sequence cycle is complete. For this reason, the PI/O memory does not change during
one sequence cycle, and ladder processing is performed as expected. However, remote I/O transfer periods
become longer as ladder programs grow larger.

Note: In synchronous mode, the time for one sequence cycle cannot be made shorter than the time for one cycle of the remote I/O.

Even with inputs of the same I/O number, values might differ depending on the location of ladder diagram.
