The following examples illustrate the application of the SIMOLINK
Switch, e.g. in the event of a master failure, for the purpose of
allocating a SIMOLINK ring and its nodes to another master.
In normal operation, each master is directly connected to its SIMOLINK
ring and its nodes via the SIMOLINK Switch.

Normal operation
If master 2 fails, the SIMOLINK ring 2 can be linked to master 1 via the
two SLS in such a way that it operates the two SIMOLINK rings, i.e. 1
and 2, as if they were one single SIMOLINK ring (1.1 and 1.2).

Failure of master 2
Nodes can be positioned between the master and the SLS. These are
always permanently allocated to this one master and, if it fails, cannot
be operated on the SIMOLINK ring.
