  • Page 24 24 AN-X4-ABRIO-HMI Page Feb 2023 Each rack status word contains 4 bits per rack, with the low bit corresponding to a rack starting at I/O group 0, etc. Output status means AN-X is receiving output packets from the scanner for that rack address.
  • Page 25 AN-X4-ABRIO-HMI Page Example: S2:16 contains the output status for racks 0-3. It consists of 16 bits, 0000 0000 0000 0000. There are 4 bits per rack, one bit for each possible starting quarter rack. Rack 4321 4321 4321 4321 S2:16 bits 0000 0000 0000 0000 For any rack, if a bit is set, it indicates that the rack at that starting I/O group is being scanned.
  • Page 26 26 AN-X4-ABRIO-HMI Page Feb 2023 Block Transfer Status Block transfer status is mapped to S2:64 to S2:189. There are 32 bits (2 words) per rack. The first word contains the status for I/O groups 0-3; the second word contains the status for I/O groups 4-7.
