After performing data communications with
a
PC CPU within the maxi-
mum data communications time set among computers, the slave station
that received an approval response executes the processing as shown
in
(5)
below.
(4)
The master station that transmitted the approval response and the slave
stations that do not have the access right check the access right time
of
the slave station that obtains the access right, and, ignore received
data which is addressed to other stations.
If
the access right time of a computer with the access right exceeds the
maximum data communications time, each computer executes the
processing mentioned
in
(7).
