Disconnect/Connect Switch

Refer to the "DeviceNet User's Manual" for details concerning DeviceNet
master status errors.
The Disconnect/Connect Switch function that was introduced with CS/CJ-
series DeviceNet master units can be used for wireless slave stations. A bit is
allocated to each wireless slave station's WNODE, and if this bit is turned ON
(1), wireless I/O communications and message communications with the cor-
responding wireless slave station will stop (i.e., the wireless slave station is
disconnected from the network). This function is mainly used to reserve space
for wireless slave stations to be added in the future (i.e., I/O points have been
registered in the wireless master station but no wireless slave station has
been connected yet).
Wireless slave stations that have been disconnected from the network do not
need to be considered when calculating the wireless communications cycle
time.
In the DeviceNet master unit's I/O area, 0 is set in the IN area allocated to
wireless slave stations that have been set to leave the network.
