Turn on bit 11 to display the diagnostic status as shown in Figure 10.4.
Also, this diagnostic status displays automatically when the 1771-M3
controller detects an error in the parameter block immediately after
power-up or an invalid ID in a command block. The diagnostic status
displays automatically in that case because the error prevents you from
selecting it thru the command block.

Block pointer - This BCD number is the
address of the block that is in error.
The second diagnostic word is the block pointer. The block pointer is a
BCD number that indicates the starting address of the block in error. The
1771-M3 controller gets these block pointers from the block pointers you
enter into the parameter block or the moveset block.
The high byte (bits 10 thru 17) of the first diagnostic word is the word
pointer. The word pointer is a BCD number (1 thru 64) that indicates
which word is in error within the block.
