6-24 Communicating with Remote I/O
Addressing the I/O
Status File During program execution you can address words and fault bits within the
I/O status file. The following figure shows the arrangement of the words in
the I/O status file for a given remote or extended local I/O rack. The example
status file used for the figures in this section is integer file 15.
The first word for a rack contains present and fault bits, the second word
contains reset and inhibit bits. The following figure shows present, fault, reset,
and inhibit bit layouts for rack 7 in the I/O status file.
IMPORTANT
Setting inhibit bits in the I/O status file does not update
inhibit bits in the controller status file.
