Description of the invention (8) Input / output connection status of devices connected to the network. The input / output connection status is recorded in the billion body section 25. The input / output connection status of those devices connected to the network is stored. Device function check section 2 6 Check whether each device connected to the network has the predetermined function of IEC 1 8 8 3 ° Figure 4 is a periodic structure showing the data transmission between I EEE 1 3 9 4 devices Illustration. In I EEE 1 3 94, data is divided into packets and transmitted in a time-sharing method at a period of 1 2 5 e s. This period is generated by using the cycle start signal provided by the node, and the node has the cycle main function (such as the device shown in Figure 1). The bandwidth required for a synchronous packet transmission is fixed from the beginning of each cycle (although it is a time unit, it is also called "bandwidth"). When transmitting synchronously, ensure that the data is transmitted within a specific time period. However, if a transmission error occurs, the transmitted data will be lost because there is no agency or procedure that provides protection of the data. During the cycle time when no synchronous communication is performed, some nodes occupying the bus as a result of the arbitration will send asynchronous packets. During non-synchronous transmission, “confirmation” and “retry” are performed to ensure reliable transmission, but the transmission time is not fixed. If a specific node performs synchronous transmission, the node must be compatible with the synchronization function. At least one of these nodes must also be synchronized in order to have a master cycle function. In addition, at least one node connected to I Ε Ε Ε 1 3 9 4 serial bus 9-1 to 9-3 must have a synchronous source management function

The displacement shown in Figure 6 starts at the address ffFFFO 0 0 0 0 0 ◦ h ("li" after the number is marked as a hexadecimal notation), and the initial recording of the billion-body volume begins from this. A bandwidth available register with a shift of 220 h represents a frequency band that can be assigned to synchronous communication. Only the bandwidth available to the node that is the source manager of the synchronization register is valid. That is, each node has a CSR as shown in Figure 5, but only the bandwidth available register of the sync source manager is valid.

In other words, in fact only the synchronous resource manager has a bandwidth-available scratchpad. In the available bandwidth register, when no frequency band is assigned to the synchronous communication, the maximum chirp is stored, and the chirp is reduced for each frequency band assigned. The available registers for channels with shifts of 2 2 4 h to 2 2 8 h, respectively, have bits equivalent to the number of channels 0 to 63. If the bit is 0, it means that the corresponding channel has been assigned. Only the available registers for channels that are nodes of the Synchronous Resource Manager are valid.
