Predefined Diagnostics Registers in the Data Image
Summary
Thirty-five contiguous registers (45357 through 45391) in the island bus data image
(see page 108) are provided for reporting diagnostic information. These registers
have predefined meanings that are described below. They can be accessed and
monitored through an HMI panel or by the Advantys configuration software.
Island Communications Status
Register 45357 describes the state of communications across the island bus. The
low byte (bits 7 through 0) displays one of 15 possible eight-bit patterns that
indicates the current state of communication. Each bit in the high byte (bits
15 through 8) is used to signal the presence or absence of a specific error condition:
1 The island is initializing.
2 The island has been put in the pre-operational state, for example, with the reset function
in the Advantys STB configuration software.
3 The NIM is configuring or auto-configuring—communication to all modules is reset.
4 The NIM is configuring or auto-configuring—checking for any modules that are not auto-
addressed.
5 The NIM is configuring or auto-configuring—Advantys STB and preferred modules are
being auto-addressed.
6 The NIM is configuring or auto-configuring—boot-up is in progress.
7 The process image is being set up.
