Set 
the maximum time 
so 
that,  after  obtaining  an access right, each com- 
puter  can  perform  data  communications  with 
PC CPUs. 
(In the  following  figure, each of these 
H 
means time  duration.) 
Even 
if 
the  computer  that  obtains  the  access  right  malfunctions,  data com- 
munications  can  be done between  other  computers  and 
PC  CPUs 
by setting 
the maximum data  communications time. 
DOINTI 
Set 
the 
maximum data  communications  time  per  computer to  a time  that 
is  sufficient  for  data  communications 
with 
PC  CPUs 
in  the  computer link 
system. 
After  the  computer  link  system  starts,  the  computer  that  obtains  the 
access right must complete  data  communications  with 
PC  CPUs 
within  the 
maximum data  communications time. 
When unable 
to 
complete  data  communications,  the  computer  with 
' 
the access right  transmits  the 
CL 
code  to  communicating 
PC CPUs 
within  the maximum data  communications time, and  initializes  a 
\ 
transmission sequence to an  AJ71 
C24.) 
I 
While a  computer  and 
PC CPUs 
are performing  data communications, the 
time-out check function must be  used  with  other  computers to block  data 
transmission  from  those  computers.
