If the bit Kn in the variable status is set it indicates that an error has occurred in variable n. A variable error is given
when the measuring value is outside of the linearization, e.g. in consequence of a sensor break down or of a short
circuit of transmission.
If the bit Mn in the module status is set it indicates that an error has occurred in the sensor module. Valid is:
M1 = 1: EEPROM - error M5 = 1: (currently not occupied)
M2 = 1: FLASH - error M6 = 1: (currently not occupied)
M3 = 1: ADC - error M7 = 1: (currently not occupied)
M4 = 1: configuration - error M8 = 1: (currently not occupied)
