Data Type - Indications (Read Only)
The
Indications
data type is represented by 2 bits in holding registers
Where:
•
Q: Status/quality bit: 0 = OK, 1 = invalid
•
V: Value bit: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
Status or Quality Bit "Q"
An indication is invalid if the result of a calculation is based on an invalid value.
In the case of an invalid indica-
tion, the quality bit is set to “1”. The value bit can be ignored in this case.
Example: “Indications from remote” are invalid until they are set via communication. In the case of
communication failure, they automatically become invalid again.
For indications that are always valid, for example the internal device indication
Device OK
, "0" is transmitted
as the quality bit.
Value Bit "V"
The value bit indicates whether an indication is ON (=1) or OFF (=0).
8.2.7.3
Data Type - Controllable Indications/Commands (Read/Write)
The
Controllable Indications
data type is needed for:
•
The binary outputs of the SICAM I/O Unit (Indications from Remote)
•
Execution of device internal commands (for example resetting of counter)
The holding register is used for read and write access in this context..
Use as Read Register
Where:
•
Q: Status/quality bit: 0 = OK, 1 = invalid
•
V: Value bit: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
