•  The multistate process value is mapped so that the mapping table specifies one or 
more inputs to be active. 
•  It is possible to have several active inputs, but only in a fixed coding. 
•  Examples: Enabling additional electrical heating or burner stages 
•  If no input combination corresponding to the process value is found in the mapping 
table, a Reliability Error message is transmitted (Quality = MULTISTATE_FAULT) 
and the last valid process value stays active.

•  The I/O status LEDs indicate the activity of the inputs 
•  In the case of an error the module status LED and all the I/O status LEDs assigned 
to the function flash. 
 
Inputs cannot be operated on the module. 
 
For details, especially in relation to flashing pattern and errors: refer to the section "Dis-
play, operation and diagnostics" in the TX-I/O™ Engineering and installation guide [6].
