Checking the Participation Table
Monitor the FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Participating_Count controller tag to
see the number of nodes currently participating in the network. The information in
this tag is updated automatically from the module through status blocks 0 and -1.
Monitor the FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Participating_Table[ ] controller tag
to check if each node is currently participating in the FL-net network. The
following illustration shows that only nodes 10 and 40 are participating.
ƒ Bit 10 of FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Exchanging_Data_Table[0] word is
set as 1 (hex value of 0400)
ƒ Bit 8 of FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Exchanging_Data_Table[2] word is
set as 1 (hex value of 0100).
ƒ Bit 8 of FLNETSTATUS.General.Nodes_Exchanging_Data_Table[2]
corresponds with bit 40 for the entire participating table.
The following illustration shows that currently there are 2 nodes participating.
