Turbo PMAC/PMAC2 Software Reference

Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 291

Ninth character returned:

Bits 14-15 Kinematics Active: (For internal use)

Bit 13 Ring-Master-to-Master Communications: (For internal use)

Bit 12 Master-to-Ring-Master Communications: (For internal use)

Tenth character returned:

Bit 11 Fixed Buffer Full: This bit is 1 when no fixed motion (PROG) or PLC buffers are open, or

when one is open but there are less than I18 words available. It is 0 when one of these buffers is open and

there are more than I18 words available.

Bit 10 MACRO Ring Check Active: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC is performing a diagnostic test

of the MACRO ring. It is 0 otherwise.

Bit 9 MACRO Ring Active: This bit is 1 when the MACRO ring is actively transmitting data. It is 0

otherwise (when the ring is faulted).

Bit 8 Modbus Active: This bit is 1 when the Modbus Ethernet interface is active. It is 0 otherwise.

Eleventh character returned:

Bit 7 Bad FSAVE Flash Sector: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC has detected a bad sector in flash

memory when attempting an FSAVE fast parameter save. It is 0 otherwise.

Bit 6 Clearing FSAVE Flash Sector: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC is clearing a sector in flash

memory as part of an FSAVE fast parameter save. It is 0 otherwise.

Bit 5 Ring Break Message Received: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC has received a message from

the MACRO ring that there is a ring break somewhere on the network. It is 0 otherwise.

Bit 4 Ring Break Detected: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC has detected a break on the MACRO

ring coming into it. It is 0 otherwise.

Twelfth character returned:

Bit 3 Ring Sync Packet Fault: This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC has not received the expected

“sync packet” over the MACRO ring. It is 0 otherwise.

Bit 2 (Reserved for future use)

Bit 1 (Reserved for future use)

Bit 0 Abort Input: (Geo Brick amplifier only) This bit is 1 when the Turbo PMAC has received a

hardware “abort” command input. It is 0 otherwise.

Example:

??? ; Ask Turbo PMAC for global status words

003000400000 ; Turbo PMAC returns the global status words

; First word bit 13 (Any checksum error) is true;

; First word bit 12 (PROM checksum error) is true;

; Second word bit 23 (for internal use) is true;

; All other bits are false
