Transferring the Command Error List to the Processor
You can transfer the command error list to the processor from the module
database. To place the table in the database, set the Command Error Pointer
(MCMR.P

In the sample ladder, the MCMR.P
1100. This will cause the error value of command 0 to be placed at database
address 1100. Each command error value occupies one database word. The
error value for command 1 will be in location 1101 and the remaining values in
consecutive database locations.
To transfer this table to the processor, refer to Command Error Codes (page
108). Make sure that the Command Error table is in the database area covered
