  • Master device, arithmetic processing device, programmable logic controller, network, and method
    Patent number: 12348332
    Abstract: A plurality of slaves include a first slave constituting the start and end points of a ring wiring and a plurality of second slaves connected between the start and end points, the ring wiring being capable of configuring a first path via which the second slaves cause data accepted from the start point side to be cyclically transferred to the end point side, and a second path for each slave to loop back the data from the device itself when the path between the slave and an adjacent slave is disconnected. When the path is recovered from the disconnection, a master transmits a command for switching the second path to the first path to the slave that carries out the loopback, and sends out data after the elapse of a time based on a propagation delay time from the time of this transmission.
