Using Extended Status

The Extended Status screen gives you information from the SDS data base
in user-friendly terms. The fields on the Extended Status screen show the
status of specific bits in the control file. A message type field on the
screen shows the type of error that occurs, the last step, the input ID, and
the state of the input. These message types correspond to the messages
you configured in the Diagnostic Message Configurator. The messages
are:

status

error

step

timeout

warning

timeout

one valid exit timeout

input

mismatch

zero

step

init

error

DFA

Refer to Chapter 7, “Configuring Diagnostic Messages” for information
about messages in the Diagnostic Message Configurator.

To access the Extended Status screen, press

[F6] - Extnded Status

on

the I/O Monitor screen.

The figure on page 8–11 shows a sample Extended Status screen when an
input mismatch occurs. Fields on the screen are described. When this type
of error occurs, the screen displays information about the last step executed
and the step to be performed.
