(4) Using link registers in a network system
In order to use link registers in the network system, network parameter settings must
be made.
Link registers not set in the network parameter settings can be used as data registers.
Remark
Refer to the following manual for the network parameters.
Q Corresponding MELSECNET/H Network System Reference Manual
9.2.14 Link special register (SW)
(1) Definition
Link special registers are used to store data on the communication status and errors
of an intelligent function
Because the data link information is stored as numeric data, the link special registers
serve as a tool for identifying the locations and causes of faults.
(2) Number of link special register points
The number of link special register points is as described in Table9.7.
Remark
For details of the link special registers, refer to the manual of the intelligent
function module having link special registers.
