Instruction manual

Hold Condition

Read the HOLD CONDITION register frequently during normal operation. A product HOLD occurs whenever

a simplex convention product is taken out of the RUN mode. The HOLD status is updated when the

associated product is returned to the RUN mode.

Hold register (46001) bit map, (bits 15 to 6 always = 0):

bit 5 (Port 6 product hold)

bit 4 (Port 5 product hold)

bit 3 (Port 4 product hold) bit value 0 = RUN mode

bit 2 (Port 3 product hold) bit value 1 = CAL (or PROG) mode

bit 1 (Port 2 product hold)

bit 0 (Port 1 product hold)

example: Read BIC-II # 2 register 46001.

Address = 02 (BIC-II I.D. # 2)

Response Data =5 (Port 1 and 3 products are not in RUN mode).

recommended action: Alarm on the Hold condition. If the associated product measurements are used for

control purposes, activate the process fail-safe condition.

BIC-II PRODUCT DATA REGISTERS

The BIC-II product data registers vary, dependent upon the product code specified in the Port Initialization.

The second digit of a BIC-II Product Data register number corresponds to the associated BIC-II product port,

referenced to 0.

e.g. Register 40001 applies to Port 1, 41001 applies to Port 2, etc.

For instruction purposes, only Port 1 register numbers are shown. For other BIC-II product ports, simply alter

the second digit of the register number, as described above.

Refer to the register descriptions that apply to the Product code

specified in the Port Initialization command.
