3.2.3.1.2
U_State.request-Service
Requests the internal communication state from the TP-UART-IC. The TP-UART-IC answers with the
Communicationstate.

U_ActivateBusmon-Service
Activates the busmonitormode. That means that each byte which is received on the EIB is sent through
the TP-UART-IC including illegal Control-bytes and not used Immediate ACK. The TP-UART-IC is
absolutely quiet on the EIB. The busmonitormode can only be left by using the U_Reset.request-
Service.

3.2.3.1.5
U_ActivateBusyMode
If the host controller is temporarily not able to receive telegrams from the bus (e.g. due to no code
execution during flash erase), the TP-UART should reject frames from the bus with BUSY
acknowledges. The service activates the BUSY mode in the TP-UART for a fix period of 700 ms (+/-
10ms). This means that all addressed telegrams (TP-UART has internally the "addressed" bit set) are
acknowledged with Busy.
Note: physical addressed frames which do not correspond with the TP-UART address will never be
acknowledged with BUSY!
All received telegrams are sent byte by byte from the TP-UART to the host as before. If the host
confirms a frame with the U_Ackinfo service (ACK, NACK or BUSY) the BusyMode will be deactivated.
After reset the BusyMode will be also deactivated.
