The following figure shows the GET table (VB200) and PUT table (VB300) for accessing the
data in station 2. The Diverter CPU uses a GET instruction to read the control and status
information on a continuous basis from each of the case packers. Each time a case packer
has packed 100 cases, the diverter notes this and sends a message to clear the status word
using a PUT instruction.

In this example, the data immediately follows the PUT and GET tables. This data can be
placed anywhere in the CPU memory since it is pointed to by the local station pointer in a
table (for example, VB212 - VB215).
