Beckhoff Lightbus - PC interface card C1220
Code word
The C1220 outputs the code word after every reset of communication
channel 1. Here, this takes place without setting the Data Valid bit. The
purpose of the code word is to inform the PC that the C1220 interface card
is initialized and ready. The code word can also be queried at any time by
way of the 0x02 function.

Evaluation of Parity Errors
If the peripheral modules are fitted with type 132 or BX415
(BK2000) SPROMs, it is possible to localise the sources of parity errors.
The master card produces a “parity error counter” (8 bits wide) for every
module present. This counter works without overflow.
The counter can be read by means of function 04.
