Check link entry status 
First two words of master’s writing area indicates the link entry status of slaves both for standard and high speed 
mode. Since the status is updated with link data, it takes a time to update the status data. 
The content of link entry status is shown in Figure 6.64. 
 
Figure 6.64    Indication of Data link status 
  Ex.)   Registered slave : No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 30 
  Entry link : No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 21, 30 (No response from No.11 and 20) 
  Indication of member status  1st word is  H041F (0000    0100    0001    1111) 
2nd word is  H4020 (0100    0000    0010    0000) 
 Error detection 
(1) Hardware error of EH-SIO 
When  the  self-diagnostic  of  EH-SIO  detects  hardware  error,  EH-SIO  will  stop  operation.  In  this  case  the 
operation of data link functionality is stopped and all refresh operation of data link is stopped also.   
If hardware error is detected, reboot the PLC power or push reset switch of EH-SIO on front panel to restart. It is 
not required to reboot the power for each slave unit. 
  (2) Communication error 
If EH-SIO detects communication error (parity error or check code error) or does not receive response, indicates 
error with showing slave station nummber. (CPU module will turn off entry flag of error station.)   
In this case, EH-SIO will not resend the request command to slave station with error and jump to next slave 
station. When the next station responses properly, error code will be cleared. In the next cycle, EH-SIO sends the 
request  to  all  registered  stations.  If  correct  response  returns  from  error  station,  then  commun  will  recover 
automatically.
