Checking the Nodes Exchanging Data

Monitor the FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Exchanging_Data_Table[ ]
controller tag to see if each node is currently exchanging data. The following
illustration shows that only node 10 is currently exchanging data with the MVI69-
FLN module: bit 10 of
FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Exchanging_Data_Table[0]
word is set to 1 (hex
value of 0400). The information in this tag is updated automatically from the
module through status blocks 0 and -1.
