. This screen
contains a table which indicates all nodes that are exchanging data with the
MVI56E-FLN module.
Each four-digit number in the table is a hexadecimal word (16 bits) which
represents a bit sequence that corresponds to the status of each FL-net node.
The following tables show the correlation between the bits and the nodes on the
FL-net network for the first three words.

The following illustration shows that Node 10 is in data exchange mode. The
value 0400 hex indicates that Bit 10 is set with a value of 1, and all other bits
have a value of 0.
