2-18 Integrating Fieldbus into Rockwell Automation Logix System
The status byte structure consists of a 2-bit quality, most significant bit,
field; a 4-bit substatus field; and a 2-bit limits, least significant bit,
field. The following table provides a breakdown of bit assignments for
general reference. The value of the quality field determines the
applicable substatus field indication.
Fieldbus Status Indications
See Appendix B for list of possible display indications associated with
a given fieldbus status.

The Good (non-cascade) substatus is used by output connections for fieldbus blocks such as Analog Input and Discrete Input. The Good (cascade) substatus is used by
output connections for fieldbus blocks such as PID. Both of these substatuses are converted to the single ProcessLogix data quality of Good.
