7.1.5 Process status bits from the pumps – word 1 to 9 (MC100
PLC)
For each pump address (1 to 16) one byte is dedicated for status bits. I.e. one data word holds the
status bits for two pumps.
Regardless of the number of pumps attached to the MC100 all pump control words has to be sent. The
data for pumps not available are ignored.

0 the pump is idle

is off. This is controlled by the pump controller.
Bit 3:

Bit 7:

See Chapter 7.3.2.1.1 for further information

The DONE bit can be necessary to use if there is very short filling times, where the BUSY signal is not detected because of
transmission times on the fieldbus network.
