Reading Status Data from the Module
The MVI46-DFNT module returns two status data blocks that can be used to
determine the module’s operating status. This data is requested by the ladder
logic and returned in the module’s M1 file. This data can also be viewed using
the Configuration/Debug port with a terminal emulation program. The
Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:
Full view of the module’s configuration data
View of the module’s status data
Complete display of the module’s internal database (registers 0 to 3999)
Version Information
Control over the module (warm boot, cold boot)
Facility to upload and download the module’s configuration file
