Module Error Definition
Table
Module errors are expressed in two fields as four-digit Hex format
with the most significant digit as irrelevant (“don’t care”). The two
fields are “Module Error” and “Extended Error Information”. The
structure of the module error data is shown below.
Module Error Field
The purpose of the module error field is to classify module errors into
three distinct groups, as described in the table below. The type of
error determines what kind of information exists in the extended error
information field. These types of module errors are typically reported
in the controller’s I/O status file. Refer to your controller manual for
details.
