Status Word/Bit Descriptions
Status blocks report current status of molding machine operation.
Status blocks are returned from the QDC module to the PLC
processor by means of block transfer read (BTR) instructions in
software ladder logic.

The listings of status blocks use five types of data words:
• Block ID
• Bit-mapped
• Stored-value
• Open
• Reserved
Block ID Word
The first word in each status block contains a binary number code in
the low byte that identifies the block. The PLC processor uses them
to identify status blocks received from the QDC module.
For all status block ID words, the high byte is identical to the high
byte of the system status word SYS01, and contains jog-execution
and power start-up status.
Bit-mapped Words
The first several words in any data block are bit-mapped. As the
QDC module monitors and detects changes in events of machine
cycles, it sets/resets or latches/unlatches status bits to inform the
PLC-5 processor that these events have occurred.
