Flexi Link 
 
CPU status bit  Meaning 
Teach required 
A station that has been suspended before, has reappeared in the 
system. In this case the process image of the all Flexi Link station is set 
to Low and the EFI I/O error bit is set to High. To continue operation, 
Teaching is required. Teaching will reset the error bit, even if the found 
station has been already suspended again. 
Station missing 
At least one station in the system is missing. To continue operation, 
Teaching is required. 
This means that at least one of the Station X missing status bits (see 
below) is High as well. 
Station X missing 
The station with the Flexi Link address X (= A, B, C or D) is missing. In 
this case the process image of the corresponding Flexi Link station is 
set to Low and the EFI I/O error bit is set to High. 
This means that the Station missing status bit (see above) is High as 
well. 
Station X taught 
The station with the Flexi Link address X (= A, B, C or D) is suspended. 
In this case the default process image of the corresponding Flexi Link 
station is used. 
 
Using these status bits you can set up your own diagnostic system, e.g. by connecting 
these status bits to a Log generator function block or by switching on a warning lamp if 
Teaching is required or active. 
After the transition from the Stop state to the Run state, a station is considered as 
missing it it has not been found within 3 minutes. 
For a description of the other CPU status bits see Section 5.6.4.
