permissible for the control block to take up User Ladder Program space 
as well as use additional user memory for storing runtime ramp 
information that is not user accessible.
• File Bit Comparison Instruction (FBC) and Diagnostic Detect 
Instruction (DDT)
The FBC and DDT diagnostic instructions are output instructions that 
you can use to monitor machine or process operations to detect 
malfunctions. If you want to detect malfunction by comparing bits in a 
file of real-time inputs with a reference bit file that represents correct 
operation, use FBC instruction. If you want to change the reference file 
to match the input file, use DDT. 
Both the FBC and DDT instructions compare bits in a file of real-time 
machine or process values (input file) with bits in a reference file, detect 
deviations, and record mismatched bit numbers. They record the 
position of each mismatch found and place this information in the result 
file. If no mismatches are found, the DN bit is set but the result file 
remains unchanged.
The difference between the FBC and DDT instructions is that each time 
the DDT instruction finds a mismatch, the processor changes the 
reference bit to match the source bit. The FBC instruction does not 
change the reference bit. Use the DDT instruction to update your 
reference file to reflect changing machine or process conditions. 
• Messaging Interrupt Message Reply
Change ‘Message Reply’ disable/enable interrupt scheme to enhance 
system performance during STI execution.
• RIO Passthru Function for BSN
The passthru function is now enabled for both the 1747-SN and the 
1747-BSN.
• Error Code Trapping ‘Operating System’
The error code trapping is used to get the latest 8 error structures for 
hard faults. Error structures are retentive after power cycle, assuming 
the battery is connected and charged. Error code trapping only works 
for hard faults (0x00—0x0F).
• Updated Operating System Flash programming Algorithm to include 
5V ‘JEDEC’
This change is required to allow memory module hardware upgrades to 
5V flash technology.
