Some Slave Unit models provide the Smart Slave function that can store various value-added infor-
mation in addition to the ON/OFF signals (I/O data). This enables preventive system maintenance
by operation time monitoring and contact operation count monitoring and aids in quicker system
startup by communications power voltage monitoring and I/O power status monitoring. Various func-

Additional Information
The Smart Slave function is not implemented in this CompoNet Communications Unit.
 Master Unit Detection of Network Participation, Errors, and Status
When a Slave Unit joins the network, the bit corresponding to the node address (Participation Flag)
will turn ON. If a Slave Unit that participates in the network leaves the network due to an error, the bit
corresponding to the node address (Error Flag) will turn ON.
Network status, such as communications errors and overlapping Slave Unit node address, and
Slave Unit diagnostic results are detected by the Master Unit. The ditection is displayed on the
7-segment LED display on the front panel and reflected in the Status Flags.
