All input data will be cleared to zeros in any Slave Unit in which a communications error occurs. |

| Duplicated Slave address
check |
If the same address is set for two different Slave Units or the same memory is allocated to two different
nodes, the network. |
|
| Registration table | The Slave Units that can participate for each node address are registered in a table so that only the
registered Slave Units can participate. Registration Table Verification Error Flag will turn ON. or manually edited from the CompoNet Support Software. |
