4.2.5 Status latch
The monitoring function of a peripheral cannot confirm the status of each
I
device all the time. The status latch function transfers and saves the device
data to the status latch area when the
SlT instruction is executed in the
sequence program.
The device data saved using the Sl T instruction can be read by the
GPP/PHP/HGP to monitor it.
