Appendix C          User Interrupts
EII Function Status Information
EII Function status bits can be monitored either in the User Program, or in the Connected 
Components Workbench software, in Debug mode.
EII User Interrupt Executing (EII0.EX) 
 
The EX (User Interrupt Executing) bit is set whenever the EII mechanism detects a valid input 
and the controller is scanning the EII POU. The EII mechanism clears the EX bit when the 
controller completes its processing of the EII subroutine.
The EII EX bit can be used in the control program as conditional logic to detect if an EII 
interrupt is executing. 
EII User Interrupt Enable (EII0.Enabled)
The Enabled (User Interrupt Enable) bit is used to indicate the EII enable or disable status.
EII User Interrupt Lost (EII0.LS) 
LS (User Interrupt Lost) is a status flag that represents an interrupt has been lost. The 
controller can process 1 active and maintain up to 1 pending user interrupt conditions before it 
sets the lost bit.
This bit is set by the controller. It is up to the control program to utilize or track, the lost 
condition if necessary.
EII User Interrupt Pending (EII0.PE)
PE (User Interrupt Pending) is a status flag that represents an interrupt is pending. This status 
bit can be monitored, or used for logic purposes, in the control program if you need to 
determine when a subroutine cannot execute immediately.
This bit is automatically set and cleared by the controller. The controller can process 1 active 
and maintain up to 1 pending user interrupt conditions before it sets the lost bit.
