Status Blocks

Status blocks report current status of molding-machine operation. They
are returned from the QDC module to the PLC-5 processor by means of
block transfer read (BTR) instructions in software ladder logic. Status

Word and bit Numbering

The QDC module stores data in command and status blocks. Each word
location in a command or status block is identified by an alphanumeric
code containing the block acronym and word number. For example, word
09 of the Module Configuration Command Block (MCC) is identified as
MCC09.

Identify bits in a word location by adding bit numbering to the abbreviated
word location. For example:

Specific: MCC09-B15

General: MCCxx-Byy

where:

MCC = Module Configuration Command Block
xx=word number (01-64)
B = bit identifier
yy = bit number (00-15)
