Generic Data Mode; Df1 Master Mode - HMS Anybus Communicator User Manual

2.3.4 Generic Data Mode

In this mode, there is no master-slave relationship between the nodes on the subnetwork and the Any-
bus Communicator. Any node, including the module, may spontaneously produce or consume a mes-
sage. Nodes do not have to respond to messages, nor do they have to wait for a query in order to send
one.
Control System
In the figure above, the Anybus Communicator "consumes" data that is "produced" by a node on the
subnetwork. This "consumed" data can then be accessed from the higher level network. This also works
the other way around; the data received from the higher level network is used to "produce" a message
on the subnetwork to be "consumed" by a node.
