4.21.1.3 PLCA Status

When PLCA is enabled, this mode will set link status to true when a PLCA beacons are regularly being received and the PLCA Status (PST) bit in the PLCA Status (PLCA_STS) register is set. Link status will indicate false once beacons are no longer detected and PLCA status becomes false.

For PLCA followers, this mode will indicate the presence of at least a coordinator on the bus and available for communication. PLCA coordinators, however, cannot detect follower nodes being available for communication.
