STATUS_BYTE:
The STATUS_BYTE command returns the summary of the
most critical faults or warnings which have occurred, as
shown in the following table:
STATUS_BYTE Data Contents
STATUS_WORD:
The STATUS_WORD command returns two bytes of infor-
mation with a summary of the unit’s fault condition. Based
on the information in these bytes, the host can get more
information by reading the appropriate status byte.
The low byte of the STATUS_WORD is the same register
as the STATUS_BYTE command.
