Checking Data Link Status

Section 5-4

5.With CS/CJ-series PLCs, the status of the words from first status word + 16 to first status word + 30 when 8-bit format is specified and the status of the words from first status word + 8 to first status word + 15 (i.e., the status of nodes 33 to 62) is reflected when the Wired Network 62 Node Enable Bit in the DM Parameter Area is turned ON.

The flags in the data link status operate as follows:

Name

Function

 

 

Data link participation

The corresponding flag will turn ON if the node has never

 

participated in the data link normally. The flag will not turn

 

OFF once it has turned ON even if the node is no longer par-

 

ticipating in the data links.

 

 

Communications

The corresponding flag will turn ON if continuous data link

error

data cannot be received from the node, e.g., due to a cable

 

break. The flag will turn OFF again if normal data is received.

 

 

PLC’s CPU Unit error

The corresponding flag will turn ON if the CPU Unit has a

 

fatal error, non-fatal error, or watchdog timer error. The flag

 

will turn OFF again if the node returns to normal.

 

The status of this flag is based on data sent from the node

 

and will not turn ON if data cannot received, e.g., due to a

 

Communications Error. Make sure that the Communications

 

Error Flag is OFF before checking this flag.

 

 

PLC status

The corresponding flag will turn ON if the user program is

 

being executed in the CPU Unit. It will turn OFF is the user

 

program is not being executed.

 

The status of this flag is based on data sent from the node

 

and will not turn ON if data cannot received, e.g., due to a

 

Communications Error. Make sure that the Communications

 

Error Flag is OFF before checking this flag.

 

 

The Data Link Participation Flag and the PLC Status Flag can be used to see if the system has started normally. These flags, however, cannot be used to detect communications errors. Use the Communications Error Flag and PLC’s CPU Unit Error Flag to detect errors.

If the Local Node Data Link Participation Flag is OFF, the previous status will be maintained as the data link status and may not be correct. Make sure that the Local Node Data Link Participation Flag is ON before checking data link status.

Note The following Local Node Data Link Participation Flags are available.
