Identifier-Related Diagnostics:
For each identifier byte assigned during configuration (for example, 0 x 10 for 1 byte input), a bit is
reserved.
In the case of a modular system with an identifier byte each per module, module-specific diagnostics can be
indicated. One bit respectively will then indicate diagnostics per module.

Error Type
Coding of the error type is in part manufacturer-specific; other codings are specified in the Standard.
Example:
Status
If the Bit EXT_DIAG is set to 0 , data is viewed as status info from the system view. f.e. cancellation of the
error triggering the diagnostics.
0
