offset

The SLAVE-BASE field in the offset register defines the A24
mapping of the PLC-5/VME processor; register bits 15-8 are the values of
the VME address bits A23-A16. This field is not altered by the
PLC-5/VME processor.

The command-control register and command-control-and-lock register
contain state bits (Table 3.B) associated with the command register. They
are identical except how they read the command-control-and-lock register
and affect the state of the LOCK bit. The command-control-and-lock
register and the LOCK bit are provided to support multiple independent
senders of commands to the PLC-5/VME processor; you can ignore both
the register and the bit if you do not need this facility.

Write ready

If 1, the command register is armed for an incoming command.
A write to the command-low register clears this bit.

14

LOCK

Command register lock

If 1, the command register has been locked.
If clear, the command register can be locked for the sending of a command.

ERR

Protocol error

If 1, a protocol error occurred associated with the last command received.
