If the I/o instruction is addressed to a single-unit device controller (bit 24
is a D), bits 25-31 represent one of 16 possible device controller addresses
(X'OO' - X'OF'). There is no need to specify a device address.
If the I/o instruction is addressed to a multiunit (e. g., magnetic tape) device
controller (bit 24 is a 1), bits 25-27 represent one of eight possible device
controller addresses (X'D' - X'7') and bits 28-31 represent one of 16 possible
device addresses (X'D' - X'FI).
Device controller addresses assigned to controllers within the same I/O chan-
nel (e. g., MIOP), must be mutually exclusive. Note that bit 24, which must
be a 0 when addressing a single-unit device controller and a 1 when addressing
a multiunit device controller, is not considered a part of the decive controller
addr~ss.
Thus, for example, if the device controller address X'D' is assigned
to a multiunit device controller within an MIOP, no other device controller
(single or multiunit) within that MIOP may have an address of XIOI.

Bus Check Fault (BCF). This bit is set to 1
if a discrepancy exists between the parity
error status in the memory unit and the lOP
when an lOP is performing a main memory
read cycle. If the error occurs whi Ie access-
ing data then the devi ce halt is controlled
by the Halt-on-Transmission-Error flag (bit
position 36 of an I/O command doubleword).
If the error occurs whi Ie fetching a com-
mand, the operation is terminated immedi-
ately with an "unusual end ll
•
Control Check Fault (CCF). This bit is set
to 1 when a parity error occurs during a sub-
channel read operation within the MIOP.
The operation terminates immediately with
an "unusual end".

Fault, Control Memory Fault, or Memory Interface Error
occurs. The lOP fault status registerisset with status in-
formation as listed under the POlP or POlR instructions.
