January 2012 7.8 PLC Inputs/Outputs 1363
Bit 2 = 1: Short circuit at an output
Bit 3 = 1: At least one output idle (< 300 mA)
Bits 4 to 6: No meaning
Bit 7 = 1: Output 7 is a programmable output (otherwise 
"control is ready")
Bits 8 to 31: No meaning
PLA 4-4 (module type 3):
Bit 0 = 1: Power supply of the inputs is OK
Bits 1 to 31: No meaning
Information no. 10:
Bit 0: Status of output 0 (PLD 16-8)
to
Bit 7: Status of output 7 (PLD 16-8)
Information no. 11:
Bit 0: Short circuit at output 0 (PLD 16-8)
to
Bit 7: Short circuit at output 7 (PLD 16-8)
Bit 8: Idle (< 300 mA) Out0 (PLD 16-8)
to
Bit 15: Idle (< 300 mA) Out7 (PLD 16-8)
Error recognition: 
Explanations:
 Hardware version – identifies the function status of the module. When a 
function that affects the software is changed, the code number identifying 
the version is increased by one. Modules with low version numbers cannot 
be replaced by modules with higher version numbers.
 Hardware code – identifies the hardware change state. The hardware 
changes do not affect the functions. It is not necessary to take the hardware 
code into account when a module is replaced.
 Short circuit: Short circuit codes (both the group signal as well as the 
output-specific messages) are modal. They are indicated by the error LED 
on the I/O module. In the event of a short circuit, the affected output is 
automatically reset. With Module 9139 you can withdraw the short-circuit 
code and then drive the output again.
 No load: The limit values for no-load code are minimum 20 mA and 
maximum 300 mA.

Error
0 Diagnostic information was read
1 Error code in NN_GenApiModuleErrorCode
NN_GenApiModule
ErrorCode
1 Invalid code
2 Invalid basic module number or slot number
24 Module was called in a spawn job or submit 
job
51 Function not possible since no PL 510 system 
is connected or the I/O module type is 
incorrect for the desired type of information.
