Modbus Implementation: Read Exception Status
489 Implementation: Read Device Status
This function reads the selected device status. A short message length allows for rapid reading of status. The returned status byte has individual bits set to 1 or 0 depending on the slave device status. The 489 general status byte is shown below:
BIT | DESCRIPTION |

B0 | 1 | TRIP relay operated = 1 |
| B4 | 5 | ALARM relay operated = 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B1 | 2 | AUXILIARY relay operated = 1 |
| B5 | 6 | SERVICE relay operated = 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
B2 | 3 | AUXILIARY relay operated = 1 |
| B6 | Stopped = 1 | |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
B3 | 4 | AUXILIARY relay operated = 1 |
| B7 | Running = 1 | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that if status is neither stopped or running, the generator is starting.
