Data link tables can be set via a network. Set data link tables in the Controller Link I/F Unit
using CX-Net or Controller Link Support Software. Data Link Tables are not set in
NS-Designer. Setting data link tables via a network can be used to change data link tables.
When setting data link tables on the NS-Designer, the data link tables cannot be changed via
network. If the user attempt to change the settings of data link tables using Controller Link
Support Software or CX-Net, the settings in NS-Designer will remain. For this reason, projects
and setting files must be re-transferred to the PT when changing data link tables.

Read Status
Status indicates the operating status (network status), such as error information in the Controller Link
network and node participation status, and operating status (data link status). Reading the status
makes it possible to check whether an error has occurred and whether the machine is operating cor-
rectly.
When any $B address within the range is set in the Status Allocation Address, the address will be the
start address of 27 consecutive addresses to which status will be read. Refer to the Operation Manual
Appendix 8 Details of CLK Status for details on the allocation addresses.
