Hi guys
How can one slc5/03 PLC connected in the same DH485 network detect that his slave Micrologix1200 is alive on network. Now I'm sending one message from Micrologix every 10sec to master SLC5/03 and this message resets timer that triggers alarm (loss of communication) if Micrologix receives ER bit for message it knows that loss of comm happened. Is there more clever way to do this without sending message?
Thanks
