Reading Status

Read-Only

Use a PLC Tag to read an individual Status or use a Block Tag with 57 Elements to read all Statuses of a device. For E3 or Elipse Power applications, this PLC or Block Tag is available via Tag Browser.

The next table contains a description of the parameters used in this PLC or Block Tag.

Parameters for Reading Status

N1/B1

Device's address or Slave ID

N2/B2

0 (zero)

N3/B3

0 (zero)

N4/B4

Status code, only for PLC Tags. For more information, please check table Status codes

 

To read an individual Status, via PLC or Block Tag, use the codes from the next table.
