Channel Status Checking
If the module is in Class 3 mode, there are 8 additional input image
words available for status information. The channel status word is a
part of the module’s input image. Input words 16 to 31 correspond to
and contain the configuration status of channels 0 to 15. You can use
the data provided in the status word to determine if the input
configuration data for any channel is valid per your configuration in
O:e.0 through O:e.15.
For example, whenever a channel is disabled (O:e.x/15 = 0), its
corresponding status word shows all zeros. This condition tells you
that input data contained in the data word for that channel is not valid
and should be ignored.

(1) In Class 1, bit 1 determines whether data or status resides in the input image. Bit 0 determines whether
channels 0 through 7 or 8 through 15 are shown.
