Adapter Status Word
The status word consists of:
• I/O module fault bits – 1 status bit for each slot
Additionally, in the case of a PLC-5 controller, it adds:
• node address changed – 1 bit (created by PLC-5 controller)
• I/O status – 1 bit (created by PLC-5 controller)
The following FLEX Ex adapter status word for a PLC-5 controller results.
As an example, in a PLC-5 system, the adapter status word bit descriptions
are shown in the following table.
41629
Bit: 15 910 through 15 876543210
