Version Buffer
The version buffer is optional; it is disabled by clearing Pn+10 for module 1 or Pn+26
for module 2. When configured, information about the associated module’s hardware
and software is copied to the buffer. The copy occurs once when the controller is
powered-up and again on recompilation of the controller. If insufficient entries are
allocated by the user the report will truncate.
Note. The information presented will be required when contacting the ALSTOM
customer support department.

Fixed V-Table
The GEM80-500 controller has five V-Table entries (V67 to V71 inclusive) reserved for
plug-in module identifiers. The Fieldbus modules will also present their identifiers in
these table entries. The values presented are the lower half of the device type as read
from the Fieldbus module. These values follow on from the modules fitted directly to the
base board. These table entries are reported in the order that they are found by the
driver.
