BROM
This message will appear only when a MagneTek TI 
Gateway ROM Configuration is used. If the firmware 
does not see the correct configuration string in the 
EPROM socket memory address, it ignores the con-
tents of the socket. If a valid configuration string 
is found at the start of the EPROM, the remainder 
of the EPROM configuration information is checked. 
If the remaining configuration lines contain an 
invalid base. slot, or module type, the firmware 
displays the "BROM" on the 4 character display 
and halts,

EIVA
When the PLC Gateway receives an allocation 
message, it decodes the channel number into base 
and slot numbers. If either of these numbers is 
invalid, then this message is displayed. An alloca-
tion error message is returned to the sending node.
ELIA
When the PLC Gateway receives a logical input 
allocation message, this error message could appear 
because the internal allocation table is full and 
cannot handle another allocation. The allocation 
table has room for 1024 allocations. A logical 
allocation uses 1 element in the table.
