Optional test rungs are shown in Figure 9.5. Within this ZCL area, the
START bit is unconditionally LATCHED ON (rung 2) and UNLATCHED
when the DONE bit is ON (rung 3). In rung 1, a single input image table
bit is the condition for the ZCL area.

The input image table bit examined in rung 1 must always be turned OFF
by the processor I/O scan. This bit can be any unused input image table
bit. For this purpose, choose a bit that is not usable because its
corresponding I/O chassis slot contains an output module.

Because the processor turns this bit OFF on each I/O scan, the ZCL area
is disabled unless both of these conditions are met:

The programming terminal is connected to the processor, that is, to the

communication adapter module PROGRAM INTERFACE socket

The addressed input image table bit is FORCED ON

When both of these conditions are met, the commands programmed at a
station processor can be initiated and monitored. To test individual
commands, the addresses of the corresponding START and DONE bit are
entered into rungs 2 and 3. In this manner, each command can be tested
individually.
