Connection for serial control and monitoring
A735-01-860 Issue A
Each binary digit (bit) represents a flag that is either active (state 1) or not active (state 0). To help decode each of
the system status words, each bit is numbered (starting with 0 for the least significant to 15 for the most significant),
as shown below:
The following 4 tables each contain a list of the 16 status flags that will be used for decoding the status or fault
finding for the nXDS pump. Table 7 contains the 16 flags used to decode the 'System status register 1', Table 8
contains the 16 flags used to decode the 'System status register 2', Table 9 contains the 16 flags used to decode the
'Warning register' and Table 10 contains the 16 flags used to decode the 'Fault register'.

Table 7 - System status register 1 flags
Bit Status Flag Active Flat Meas
0 (lsb) Deceleration Stop command received and pump-controller is in the deceleration/
ramp down process
1 Acceleration/running Accelerating or running
2 Standby speed Standby active
3 Normal speed Above normal speed
4 Above ramp speed Operating above the ramp speed threshold
5 Above overload speed Operating above the overload speed threshold
6 Control mode Bits 6, 7 and 13 indicate which control mode the pump-controller is
operating in (bit 13; bit 7; bit 6).
