Checking Data Link Status Section 5-4
5-4-5 Error Detection Program Example
When the source node's data link is participating, the AND condition of the
data link status for each node can be taken using the Data Link Participation
Flag and the Communications Error Flag, and the error output.
The following example shows an error output program for cases where the
local node data link stops.
The local node's Communications Error Flag (in the data link status area) will
be turned ON if the local node is isolated from the network while the data link
is active. In this case, the data link remains active, so the node's Data Link
Participation Flag will remain ON even though the node is isolated from the
network.
5-4-6 Programming Examples for Processing Data when Errors Occur
If a communications error occurs in a data link and valid data link data cannot
be received, the previous data is stored in the data link area. To stop process-
ing using the data link data when an error occurs, refer to the following pro-
gram example.
Processing Data Only when Data Links Are Operating Normally
Perform processing only when the data links are operating normally by includ-
ing an AND condition for the Data Link Normal Operation Flag in the part of
the program that handles data link data for each node. This is an example of
programming locks in the appropriate places.
“Data Link Normal Operating Flags” can be created using the programming
described in
