The slave status list contains the current poll status of each slave device on a
Master port. Slaves attached to a Master port can have one of three states.
0
The slave has not defined in the command list for the Master port and will not be polled
from the Command List.
1
The slave is configured to be polled by the Master port and the most recent
communication attempt was successful.
2
The Master port has failed to communicate with the slave device. Communication with
the slave is suspended for a user defined period based on the scanning of the
command list.
Slaves are defined to the system when the gateway loads the Master Command
List during start-up and initialization. Each slave defined will be set to a state
value of 1 in this initial step. If the Master port fails to communicate with a slave
device (timeout expired on a command, retries failed), the Master will set the
state of the slave to a value of 2 in this status table. This suspends
communication with the slave device for a user-specified Error Delay Count.
