    9-2-1 Communications Errors on CompoNet Networks You can use the Error History Tab Page in the CX-Integrator to see the last four communications errors between the CompoNet Master Unit and Compo- Net Communications Unit. The Error History Tab Page shows the error and the total Unit ON time when the error occurred.

    The CMND instruction sends the FINS commands. You use the CX-Programmer to enter the CMND instruc- tion. When the CMND instruction sends a FINS command from the CPU Unit to the CompoNet Master Unit, the CompoNet Master Unit changes it into a CompoNet explicit message and sends it to the SmartSlice I/O Termi- nal.
