When a Special I/O Unit is mounted in a C200HX/HG/HE PC, END refreshing is
performed automatically each cycle without making any special settings. When
several Special I/O Units are being used, the cycle time might become too long
because of the time required for this automatic I/O refreshing.

several Special I/O Units are being used, the cycle time might become too long
because of the time required for this automatic I/O refreshing.
To reduce the time devoted to I/O refreshing, disable cyclic Special I/O Unit
refreshing in the PC Setup (DM 6621) and use IORF(97) to refresh the Special
I/O Units instead. I/O refreshing for all Special I/O Units mounted to the CPU
Rack or Expansion I/O Racks can be disabled in the PC Setup by setting DM
6621 to #0100.
