Diagnosis information for point configuration

After you have determined this information, you may configure points using the following information:

	Bit Diagnosis (no axis).
	Bit Diagnosis (with axis).
	Byte Diagnosis (no axis).
	Byte Diagnosis (with axis).
	Word Diagnosis (no axis).
	Word Diagnosis (with axis).
	Longword (2-word) Diagnosis (no axis).
	Longword (2-word) Diagnosis (with axis).
	Real (4-word) Diagnosis (no axis).
	Real (4-word) Diagnosis (with axis).

Control manual required information for point configuration

Before configuring a point, refer to the Maintenance Manual for your control type (Series 15, Series 16 or Power Mate) to determine the following information.

Is the CNC diagnosis a bit, byte, word, longword (2-word) or real (4-word) data?

Does the CNC diagnosis contain signed or unsigned data?

Does the CNC diagnosis have data for every axis or is there just a single value?

Restrictions for configuring points as diagnosis

When configuring points as diagnosis, be aware of the following restrictions:

You cannot configure points as array points for diagnosis data.

You cannot write to diagnosis data.

In general, most CNC diagnosis data contain "SIGNED" data, so you should use the equivalent signed point type (SINT, INT, or DINT).

Valid diagnosis addresses are 0 – 6,200.

 Important: CIMPLICITY HSSB and Ethernet device points for diagnosis data should be configured according to the instructions in the appropriate CNC Controller Maintenance Manual.
