26.6.18.2 Protocol Status Registers
The Protocol Status Register 2 (PSR2) provides slot status information about the Network Idle Time NIT
and the Symbol Window. The Protocol Status Register 3 (PSR3) provides aggregated slot status
information.
26.6.18.3 Slot Status Registers
The eight slot status registers, Slot Status Registers (SSR0–SSR7), can be used to observe the status of
static slots, dynamic slots, the symbol window, or the NIT without individual message buffers. These
registers provide all slot status related and received frame / symbol related status information, as given in
Table 26-116, except of the first valid indicator for non-transmission slots.
26.6.18.4 Slot Status Counter Registers
The controller provides four slot status error counter registers, Slot Status Counter Registers
(SSCR0–SSCR3). Each of these slot status counter registers is updated with the value of an internal slot
status counter at the start of a communication cycle. The internal slot status counter is incremented if its
increment condition, defined by the Slot Status Counter Condition Register (SSCCR), matches the status
vector provided by the PE. All static slots, the symbol window, and the NIT status are taken into account.
Dynamic slots are excluded. The internal slot status counting and update timing is shown in Figure 26-149.
Figure 26-149. Slot Status Counting and SSCRn Update
The PE provides the status of the NIT in the first slot of the next cycle. Due to these facts, the SSCRn
register reflects, in cycle n, the status of the NIT of cycle n – 2, and the status of all static slots and the
symbol window of cycle n –1.
