4.3.2
Loopback function
This function isolates a disconnected cable or faulty station from the network, so that data
link can be continued among normally operating stations.
(1) Cable disconnection
Data link is continued even if a cable is disconnected.
POINT
Although the CC-Link IE controller network uses 2 core cables, loopbback occurs
even if a disconnection or an error is detected on one side. (Transmissions using
one side only are not performed.)
(2) Station failure
Data link is continued except for a faulty station.
If two or more stations go down, a station located between the faulty stations cannot
perform data link.
However, when more than one station exist between the faulty stations, a normal
station is changed to a sub-control station and continues data link.
