2.2 Status & Diagnostics
2.2.1 Status Word
Optionally, the gateway provides runtime status and diagnostics through the Status Word. This func-
tionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled separately for each network via the Gateway Config
Interface.
Status Word Contents:
• Gateway Cycle Counter
This 4-bit counter is incremented for each successful gateway cycle, i.e. each time data has been
successfully transferred between the network interfaces.
• General Error Counter
This 4-bit counter is incremented each time the throughput of the gateway exceeds 100 ms.
• Master Mode
1
These bits indicate the current operation mode of the on-board master to the other network
(these bits are not available on the master/scanner side).
The exact definition of these bits depend on the network in question. For further information,
consult the interface addendum for the on board master/scanner.
• Init
This bit indicates if the other network interface has been initialised as follows:
1: Other network interface successfully initialised.
0: Could not initialise other network interface.
• Run
This bit indicates the status of the data exchange on the other network as follows:
1: Other network is on line / running
0: Other network is not on line / not running
