Extended Status Bits (W1)
Bit
1
Description
10
1785-BCM series A module; when on, this bit indicates that the other 1785-BCM module is
series A.
11
Fast Data Transfer mode; when on, this bit indicates that the data valid bit is set to 1 (one)
as soon as the secondary module receives a data block. When off, this bit indicates that the
data valid bit is 1 (one) only when the secondary module receives the complete data
segment.
12
Reserved – always 0
13
Reserved – always 0
14
Reserved – always 0
15
Reserved – always 0
16
Switchover Diagnostic; this bit is always off, but if during a switchover condition this bit is
on, it means that the module must be replaced.
17
1785-BEM module; this bit is on when there is a 1785-BEM backup expansion module in
the system.
1
Bits 0 through 7 (least significant byte of W1) are unused and reserved. For W1, bit 0 is the
least-significant bit and bit 17 is the most-significant bit.
The second auxiliary status word address corresponds to the right-most slot of
the first I/O module group in the I/O chassis. This word shows the channel
configurations of the 1785-BCM and 1785-BEM (if any) modules and also
indicates an error condition in any of these channels.
The most-significant byte of this word corresponds to Channels 1A and 1B of
the 1785-BCM module. The least-significant byte corresponds to Channels 2A
and 2B of the 1785-BEM module. Refer to Figure 5.7.
