Channel Status Word Bits – Integer Mode

The Channel Status word has these differences when used in integer mode.

• Only the Output in Hold and Open Wire conditions are reported by the

module.

• Calibration Fault reporting is not available in this word, although the

Calibration Fault bit in the Module Fault word will still activate when
that condition exists on any channel.

• There is only one Channel Status word for all four channels on

1756-OF4 and all eight channels on 1756-OF8.

The table lists the conditions that set each of the Status Word bits.

Bit

Event that sets this tag

ChxOpenWire

Odd-numbered bits from bit
15 …bit 1 (that is, bit 15
represents channel 0).

For a full listing of the
channels these bits
represent, see

page 163

.

The Open Wire bit is set only if the configured Output Range is 0 …20 mA,
and the circuit becomes open due to a wire falling or being cut when the
output being driven is above 0.1mA. The bit will remain set until correct
wiring is restored.

ChxInHold

Even-numbered bits from
bit 14…bit 0 (that is, bit 14
represents channel 0).

For a full listing of the
channels these bits
represent, see

page 163

.

The Output In Hold bit is set when the output channel is currently holding. The
bit resets when the requested Run mode output value is within 0.1% of
full-scale of the current echo value.
