This part can be written into and read as required. Its contents are not affected by
reading.
●
EVENt
The
EVENt
part indicates whether an event has occurred since the last reading, it is
the "memory" of the condition part. It only indicates events passed on by the transition
filters. It is permanently updated by the instrument. This part can only be read by the
user. Reading the register clears it. This part is often equated with the entire register.
●
ENABle
The
ENABle
part determines whether the associated
EVENt
bit contributes to the
sum bit (see below). Each bit of the
EVENt
part is "ANDed" with the associated
ENABle
bit (symbol '&'). The results of all logical operations of this part are passed
on to the sum bit via an "OR" function (symbol '+').
ENABle
bit = 0: the associated
EVENt
bit does not contribute to the sum bit
ENABle
bit = 1: if the associated
EVENt
bit is "1", the sum bit is set to "1" as well.
This part can be written into and read by the user as required. Its contents are not
affected by reading.
Sum bit
The sum bit is obtained from the
EVENt
and
ENABle
part for each register. The result is
then entered into a bit of the
CONDition
part of the higher-order register.
The instrument automatically generates the sum bit for each register. Thus an event can
lead to a service request throughout all levels of the hierarchy.
