10.3.8.2 Cable Status Function
15
Cable Status Function provides the cable status between the FieldServer and the Nodes. If the cable is good it is
indicated by a 1 in the Cable Status Data Array. The offset number in the Data Array is as follows:
Data Array Offset Description Data Array Offset Description
0 P1 on Primary – Serial 16 P1 on Secondary – Serial
1 P2 on Primary – Serial 17 P2 on Secondary – Serial
2 P3 on Primary – Serial 18 P3 on Secondary – Serial
3 P4 on Primary – Serial 19 P4 on Secondary – Serial
4 P5 on Primary – Serial 20 P5 on Secondary – Serial
5 P6 on Primary – Serial 21 P6 on Secondary – Serial
6 P7 on Primary – Serial 22 P7 on Secondary – Serial
7 P8 on Primary – Serial 23 P8 on Secondary – Serial
8 R1 on Primary – RS485 24 R1 on Primary – RS485
9 R2 on Primary – RS485 25 R2 on Primary – RS485
12 N1 on Primary – Ethernet 28 N1 on Primary – Ethernet
13 N2 on Primary – Ethernet 29 N2 on Primary – Ethernet

15 The Cable Status bits take 60s for the change in status to be asserted as the system retries a few times when testing the connection. This 60
second delay is a “housekeeping” function and will not affect any process control operation.
