4-2-1 Status Areas of Digital I/O Units
The Digital I/O Units have two status areas. Each Unit’s Status Flags are
turned ON and OFF based on the threshold/monitor values set for the func-
tion in that Unit. A flag in the Communications Unit will be turned ON only
when the corresponding flag has been turned ON in one of those status
areas.
The Communications Unit’s Status Flag information is transmitted to the Mas-
ter. The I/O Unit’s status area information can be read from a Programming
Device.

Warning Status Area provides notification of minor errors detected in the Unit.
When any of these flags goes ON, bit 2 of the Communications Unit’s Status
Flags is turned ON and that information is transmitted to the Master.
