For this example, we have created an ERSC module in our Ethernet Tree and added a MSG Instruction to a ladder rung. We named this MSG block “ReadStatus” and created the Controller Tag for it. With this MSG Instruction we are going to read Module Address 4:0088 and 4:0089 which are Module Status Word 1 and 2. We also created a Controller Tag of data type DINT we named “TempDiagStatus” to hold this data. Data from 4:0088 will be in the High Word of the DINT and 4:0089 will be in the low word of the DINT.
