Network Status Indication in the M1 Ethernet Module

Overview

The M1 Ethernet Module can provide I/OBus network status via the Module Status
function in the programming panel or by a STAT element in user logic. The fourth
word of the status element contains information regarding the integrity of the
network.

Operation

The I/OBus status word contains a valid value only when the processor is running.
A zero value indicates that normal I/OBus communication is occurring.

A non-zero value indicates a problem.

Failure
Indication

If there is a communications error, bit values in the I/OBus status word contain
information on the failure mode, as follows:

BITS 0 - 14

These bits contain a value from 1 to 255, signifying the network position of the
module that cannot be reached. For example, a value of 8 indicates a
communications failure in accessing the 8

th

module on the network.

BIT 15

This bit contains a value of 0 or 1.

A value of zero indicates a general communication failure, for example, no power to
the module or a break in its input cable.

A value of 1 indicates that communication is possible, but the I/OBus ID received
from the module does not match the module type contained in the traffic cop for
that position.
