5.2.1 Structure of the status bits
Irrespective of the CPX bus node used, the CPX terminal pro
vides 8status bits for displaying common diagnostic mess
ages (global error messages).
Status bits are configured like inputs. The input addresses,
which are to be assigned to status bits, depend on the field
bus protocol used (see manual for the specific CPX
bus
node).
The status bits supply coded diagnostic information. Bits 0 to
3 specify the module types in which faults have occurred. Bits
4 to 7 specify the type of fault.

Tab.5/3: Structure of the status bits
If all status bits supply a 0−signal, no fault will be registered.
