BIN:

(Binary) Enter a leading B, then any valid combination

of 1s and 0s. The data is right justified if less than 16

bits are entered.

The WRITE function will then display the current values of all registers

located at the specified slot with the following headers:

5.2

Remote Heads (M/N 57C328, M/N 57C329,

and M/N 57C330)

There are five commands from the terminal that are recognized by

the Remote Heads: T, S, C, R, and W. These commands are

described below.

5.2.1

Self Test (T)

Entering T" initiates the powerĆup sequence and the selfĆdiagnostic

test of the Remote Head. This command is valid only if the line is

inactive, i.e., no communication is taking place on the Remote I/O

network. Therefore, it can be used to recognize a new drop number

(using the thumbwheel switch) without cycling power to the Head.

5.2.2

Status (S)

Entering S" will display at the operator's console all the parameters

associated with the module. All line statistic parameters (other than

PORT RETRIES) will increase to 65535 and then roll over to zero. All

drops will display the following status information:
SOFTWARE PART NUMBER 419451Ć1nnx

(nn is the part version number; x is the part revision number)

LINE IS

ACTIVE or INACTIVE

DROP NUMBER

1 through 7

MESSAGES RECEIVED:

n

RECEIVE TIMEOUTS

n

CRC ERRORS

n

OVERRUN ERRORS

n

ABORT ERRORS

n

MESSAGES SENT:

n

LAST RESET:

zz

PORT RETRIES (P0, P1, P2, P3): n, n, n, n
where:

MESSAGES RECEIVED is the total number of messages received

by the drop. While the line is inactive, this value will remain

unchanged. While the line is active, it will constantly increase in

value.
RECEIVE TIMEOUTS is the total number of timeouts that have

occurred while the drop was waiting for a message to be

received. While the line is inactive, the slave drop will indicate a

value of 0.
CRC ERRORS is the total number of cyclic redundancy check

errors that have occurred since the last reset of the drop. This

number should ideally remain equal to zero.
