APPENDIX 4. LINK MASTER FUNCTIONS
A4.3 Transfer of LAS
There are two procedures for an LM to become the
LAS:
• If the LM whose value of [V(ST)
ϫV(TN)] is the
smallest on a segment, with the exception of the
current LAS, judges that there is no LAS on the
segment, in such a case as when the segment has
started up or when the current LAS has failed, the
To set up an AXF as a device that is capable of
backing up the LAS, follow the procedure below.
NOTE: When changing the settings in an AXF, add the
AXF to the segment in which an LAS is running.
After making changes to the settings, do not turn off
the power to the AXF for at least 30 seconds.
(1) Set the node address of the AXF. In general, use
an address from 0x10 to [V(FUN) - 1].

(2) In the LAS settings of the AXF, set the values of
V(ST), V(MRD), and V(MID) to the same as the
respective lowest capability values in all the
devices within the segment. An example is shown
below.

(3) In the LAS settings of the AXF, set the values of
V(FUN) and V(NUN) so that they include the
node addresses of all nodes within the same
segment. (See also Figure 3.)

LM declares itself as the LAS, then becomes the
LAS. (With this procedure, an LM backs up the
LAS as shown in the following figure.)
• The LM whose value of [V(ST)
ϫV(TN)] is the
smallest on a segment, with the exception of the
current LAS, requests the LAS on the same segment
to transfer the right of being the LAS, then becomes
the LAS.

In the event that the current LAS in

fails, the LM with the address of 0x15
takes its place to become the LAS.
