For each new run, the Sequence ID is set to zero for the first word transferred, set to one for the second word transferred, set to two for the third word transferred, and set to three for the fourth word transferred. The Sequence ID then cycles back to being set to zero for the fifth word transferred, and so forth until the run is complete. At the beginning of the next run, the Sequence ID is set to zero again.

The Sequence ID provides detection of errors that occur when an information transfer is missed or double clocked. A Sequence ID error causes a protection code error. If a protection code error is detected, then the information transfer is invalid. The method for recovery from these errors is the same as the method for parity error recovery.
