Ladder logic should be developed to recognize the presence of this condition and
place the status information in a user data file. The example ladder logic displays
this process.
Side Connect Status Block
Status block information informs the processor of the activity and "health" of the
module. When the side-connect interface is used, this data set is automatically
placed in the application file at offset 200. The format of the block is shown
below:
Module Status
