Status Area
Error Information: CIO 1500 + 25 x (Unit No.)
Polling Node Address, Startup Node Address: CIO 1500 + 25 x (Unit No.) + 1
Note Stop the data link from the node at which the LNK indicator is lit (indicating
active data links). Data links cannot be stopped from nodes which do not have
active data links.
The status of the Unit and the communications status of the Controller Link
Unit is recorded in the Status Area of the PLC. The cause of errors can be
found by searching the Status Area. The Status Area can be read using a Pro-
