Modbus Implementation: Read Exception Status
MM2 Implementation: Read Device Status
This is a function used to quickly read the status of a selected device. A short message length allows
for rapid reading of status. The status byte returned will have individual bits set to 1 or 0 depending
on the status of the slave device. For this example, consider the following MM2 general status byte:
The master/slave packets have the following format:
LSBit:
B0: Alarm condition = 1
B1: Trip condition = 1
B2: Internal fault = 1
B3: Auto mode selected = 1
B4: Contactor A N/O (input closed = 1, open = 0)
B5: Contactor B N/O (input closed = 1, open = 0)
B6: AUX Relay 1 Status
MSBit:
B7: AUX Relay 2 Status
