Example
Module 2 (Flexi Soft XTIO) has a stuck-at-high error (24 V) on output 3. The following
module status will be transferred into the network (only the first 12 of 60 bytes are
shown):

The first relevant byte for the error on module 2 described above is the module status
byte 0 for module 2. This is byte 11 with the hex value FB (11111011):

This corresponds to the error message “Summary of bits 0.5 to 0.7 (external error)”
(byte 0, bit 2 in Tab. 9).
5)
The status of this bit can be defined to suit the specific application in the MOCx logic, e.g. to indicate
inadmissible movements of an axis that have been detected by an MOCx function block.
