Hi! I'm interested in building an "emancipated" (peer-to-peer not master-slave) network for distributed parallel processing. The BX01 has built-in RS485 networking capabilities that look promising, but does anyone know if the protocol avoids/detects/corrects data collisions? Are there any known problems running the network peer-to-peer? Thanks in advance. Bruce.

there is a data read code for a failed tx. bxNetOk = 0 No errors bxNetNoResponse = 1 No response from remote system bxNetBusy = 255 Network command in progress the same is for putnetwork bxNetOk = 0 No errors bxNetNoResponse = 1 No response from remote system bxNetBusy = 255 Network command in progress --- "Bruce J.

Hi! Thank you! But then what does this warning mean: 'Known Bugs If another node on the network attempts to transmit a network packet simultaneously, the processor may hang.' Does the processor that "hangs" try again, does it eventually timeout returning with a "bxNetBusy" response , does it crash and burn becoming inactive or does it do something else? I'm concerned that the network could lose active nodes over time. Bruce.

I do nt know as I have never had this happen. it has always returned a 255 for me and not hung. --- "Bruce J. Weimer, M.D." <> wrote: > Hi! > > Thank you!
