8.3 Using Link Special Relay (SB) and Link Special Register (SW)
(2) Checking data link
The data link status is checked through the CC IE Control diagnostics, but it also can be checked with link special
relay (SB) and link special register (SW). ( Page 526, Section 10.3)
(a) Check the data link status of other stations
1. Link scan time etc., can be checked in SW005A to SW005B and SW0060 to SW0062.
2. If an error occurs to data link, either of the following link special relays (SB) will be turned ON.
• Baton pass status of each station (SB00A0)
• Cyclic transmission status of each station (SB00B0)
3. When Baton pass status of each station (SB00A0) is turned ON, the station No. of a station where
an error has occurred is stored in Baton pass status of each station (SW00A0 to SW00A7).
When Cyclic transmission status of each station (SB00B0) is turned ON, the station No. of a
station where an error has occurred is stored in Cyclic transmission status of each station
(SW00B0 to SW00B7).
4. The details of the cause of an error can be checked with the link special relay (SB) and link special
register (SW) of the station No. for a station where the error has occurred.
(b) Checking the data link status of own station
1. Link scan time etc., can be checked in SW005A to SW005B and SW0060 to SW0062.
2. If an error occurs to data link, either of the following link special relays (SB) will be turned ON.
• Baton pass status (own station) (SB0047)
• Data link status of own station (SB0049)
3. The cause of an error is stored in the following link special registers (SW).
• Baton pass status (own station) (SW0047)
• Cause of baton pass interruption (SW0048)
• Cause of data link stop (SW0049)
