5) STANDBY: Reading scan data. The talker is none.
It is impossible to write the scan data.
6) STANDBY-LOCK: STANDBY state and locking
7) DOWN: Node down
Normally, the states of all nodes are “ONLINE” but when the system detects an error, the state
of abnormal node becomes “STANDBY”.
On “STANDBY” state, it is possible to read scan data normally but impossible to write it.
When the parent node and the child node are “ONLINE”, if the state of the parent node
becomes “STANDBY”, one of the own node becomes “BACKUP”.
On “BACKUP” state, it is possible to read scan data normally and the talker blocks of the
parent node are added to own.
At this time, OPC Clients must request the own node to write scan data..
(OPC Clients mustn’t request the parent node.)
