Manual switch
While a submaster station is operating as a master operating station, the operation of the master station can be switched from
the submaster operation to the master operation with the procedure described below. Note, however, that this does not apply
when the master station is operating as a master operating station. Cyclic transmission is continued during switch. (The
output of the slave station is held during switch.)
1. In the submaster station operating as a master operating station, check that 'Forced master switching enable status'
(SB0066) is on. Then turn on 'Forced master switch command' (SB0019).
Whether the submaster station is operating as a master operating station can be checked using the following signals.
• 'Master/submaster function operation status of own station' (SB004E) is off.
• 'Master station information' (SB0070) is on.
2. When the master/local module receives a switch command, 'Forced master switching acceptance status' (SB0067) is
turned on, and the switch is started.
Cyclic transmission is continued during switch.
3. When the switch is completed, 'Forced master switching operation status' (SB0068) is turned on.
4. The result can be checked in 'Forced master switching command result' (SW005C).
5. Turn off 'Forced master switching command' (SB0019).
'Forced master switching acceptance status' (SB0067), 'Forced master switching operation status' (SB0068), and 'Forced
master switching command result' (SW005C) are turned off.
