Checking Data Link Status Section 5-4
5. The following shows an example of an insufficient (short) receive area.
6. The following shows an example of a remaining receive area.
When 4-bit Format is Specified (i.e., when using a CS/CJ-series PLC with the data link status storage
format specification in the DM Parameter Area set to 4-bit format)
Note 1. A communications error will occur in a node that is not participating in the
network.
2. When a communications error occurs, previous status is retained for other
nodes status.
3. Only the PLC status and the PLC’s CPU Unit error status are refreshed for
nodes that are participating in the network, but not participating in the data
links.
4. When the data link status area is set in the IR, CIO, or LR Area, the data
link status will be instantaneously set to 0 when the mode of the PLC’s
CPU Unit is changed.
