Type Variable name
BYTE byConnectionMethod
BYTE byMyNodeAddr
BYTE byMyUnitAddr
BYTE byMyNetAddr
BYTE abyNodeList[32]
WORD wComunicationCycleTime
BYTE byPollingNodeAddr
The Controller Link Support Board contains status information which reflects
the current status of communications and the Board. This status information
can be read using the STATUS READ or DATA LINK AREA READ FINS
command. The cause of the error can be found by reading the status informa-
tion.
This section explains the contents accessed by the ClkGetNetworkStatus
function and tells how to troubleshoot error information obtained.
The following network status is read by ClkGetNetworkStatus().
Wired/optical discrimination, transmission path form, etc.
Bit
Connection type
0: Wired
1: Optical ring
Note When optical and optical ring connections are combined, the maxi-
mum number of nodes supported will be given as 62 nodes for an opti-
cal ring connection even if the maximum number of nodes is 32.
Local unit address
Stores the local unit address set for the Controller Link Board.
Local unit address
Stores the local unit address set for the Controller Link Board.
Local network address
Stores the local network address set for the Controller Link Board.
Network participation status
Stores a list of the nodes participating in the network.

Note For Wired Networks set to a maximum of 32 nodes, the above
information is valid through node 32 (lower 4 bytes of
abyNodeList[16]).
Communications cycle time
Stores the current value of the communications cycle time. (unit: 0.1 ms)
Polling node address
Stores the node address of the current polling node.
