EXECUTION STATUS

SETTING
MEANING
0000
A reset sequence is in progress, caused by a Power Up, IORST, or a RESET (777) command
0001
The reset sequence is complete.
If Status Register B
¹
0, an internal error occurred and Reg. B indicates error type.
If an error occurred, legal commands are: Diagnostic Mode (24); or Reset (777)
If no error occurred, legal commands are: Program load (000); Begin (002); Diagnostic
Mode (024); Unit Status (131); Trespass (132); Reset (777).
Any other command will cause a PIO illegal command error (bits 4 and 5 are set to 01).
If a begin is issued, the controller boots, its processor code from disk. If an error occurs during the boot,
a PIO command execution error results, and the controller sets bits 4 and 5 thru 10.
1000
Begin command executed successfully; controller is ready but not initialized.
Legal commands are: Diagnostic Mode (024); Set Mapping information (026); Get Mapping
information (027); Unit Status (131); Trespass (132); Reset (777).
Any other command will cause a PIO illegal command error (bits 4 and 5 are set to 01)
11XX
Set Mapping information executed; controller is ready and initialized with default parameters. All
commands are now legal except the following: Begin (002); Any
Diagnostic command
(6xx); Program Load
(000).
Diagnostic commands are not valid since the controller is not in diagnostic mode.
01XX
Diagnostic Mode. All commands from the previous state and from the diagnostic command set are now
valid. Exiting the diagnostic mode causes a return to the previous state.
X100
These status values indicate how many more Start List Commands the controller can accept:
Not full: At least 2 more Start List Commands can be accepted.
X101
Near full: One more Start List Command can be accepted.
X111
