Usable data
This section describes the payload that can be transmitted as the result of a corresponding
request.
5.6.1
Virtual inputs (Input Byte 0 ... Input Byte 15)
The virtual inputs are defined by the communication partner and transferred to the
PNOZmulti 2 . Each input has a number, e.g. input bit 4 of input byte 1 has the number i12.

5.6.2
Watchdog
The watchdog is used to monitor the virtual inputs.
If no virtual inputs are sent by a communications partner within a defined watchdog time
(watchdog timeout), the PNOZmulti sets the virtual inputs to "0".
The configuration and functionality of the watchdog varies and so is described in the re
spective requests.
5.6.3
Virtual outputs (Output Byte 0 ... Output Byte 15)
The virtual outputs are defined in the PNOZmulti Configurator. Each output that is used is
given a number there, e.g. o0, o5 .... The state of output o0 is stored in bit 0 of output byte
0; the state of output o5 is stored in bit 5 of output byte 0 etc.

LED status
The status of the LEDs is stored in a byte as follows:
}
Bit 0 = 1: LED OFAULT is lit or flashes
}
Bit 1 = 1: LED IFAULT is lit or flashes
}
Bit 2 = 1: LED FAULT is lit or flashes
}
Bit 3 = 1: LED DIAG is lit or flashes
}
Bit 4 = 1: LED RUN is lit
}
Bit 57: Reserved
