While Output enabled (Enable) is ON, status of the axis specified with Unit No. (UnitNo) and Axis No. (Axis) is
cyclically read and output. When Output enabled (Enable) turns OFF, status will be reset.
The Status Read completed (Done) turns ON when valid status is being read and output.
The Error Flag (Error) will be turned ON and the Error Code (Error code) will be output if an error occurs for this
FB. Strictly speaking, they are respectively turned ON or output only when Unit No. (UnitNo) or Axis No. (Axis)
is set out of range.
These statuses will be reset when Output enabled (Enable) turns OFF.
They are output by this FB, combining the states of the Status Bits in the Bit Area of the applicable Motion
Control Unit. See the table below.

Other

Connect the EN input to the Always On Flag (P_On).

If a different type of bit is connected to EN, the FB outputs will be maintained when the connected bit is turned
OFF.
This FB uses bits in the Bit Areas of the applicable Motion Control Units listed above. Do not use these bits as
Output Bits connected directly to the right bus bar in the ladder programs.

Description
1 (ON): Starts FB
0 (OFF): Does not start FB
Specify the Axis No. Managed in the Motion
Control Units. Note that this is different from the
Node Address used in the MECHATROLINK
network.
0 (OFF): Output reset
1 (ON): Output enabled

Description
1 (ON): FB operating normally
0 (OFF): FB not operating normally
1 (ON) indicates that valid status is being read and output.
1 (ON) indicates that an error has occurred in the FB.
The error code of the error occurred in the FB will be output.
For details of the errors, refer to the manual listed in the
Related manuals above. When Unit No. or Axis No. is out of
the range, #0000 will be output.
1 (ON) indicates that the operation is being stopped with an
error.
1 (ON) indicates that the axis is decelerating in Manual
Mode or that operations are prohibited.
1 (ON) indicates that the Motion Control Unit is waiting for a
start command in Manual Mode.
1 (ON) indicates that the axis is operating or that the Motion
Control Unit is in Automatic Mode.
