Binary status information in the cyclic channel
The binary status information is identical in all three basic types and provides the most
important status information about the circuit breaker. It cannot be changed. The binary
status information in the cyclic channel is transferred at the start of the data frame at every
data exchange.
The binary status information consists of 2 bytes. Further explanations of data formats are
given in Chapter Data library (Page 175).
The information coding is identical in SENTRON WL and SENTRON VL provided the data is
available.
