Stratix Switch Data Type

[jdj230 0]

I currently have a stratix 5700 and when adding the device its data type has an associated DINT called fault.

 

I can't seem to find any information on what this corresponds to and I'm not sure what it truly indicates.

Does anyone know what these bits mean?

Great topic, something I had wondered about using for years but never got around.  Page 28 digs into it; tags configured that you can monitor in your code.  https://www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/downloads/rockwellautomation/noa/RAOTM%20Lab%20Manuals/L02-manual.pdf

Seems to me that RA documentation (and the physical tag in the tag database) generally shows the DINT, in this case .Fault, then shows tags directly below it for a breakout of DINT as BOOLs.  But in this case, there are 33 individual bits listed.  I think it's just a matter of testing to see what bits turn on when and what the DINT value shows.

Just for giggles, I added a 6, 10, 12 & 20 port switches, then looked in the tag database.  The tag changes along with the definition of the BOOLs.  It it obvious for the 6 Port, not so obvious for the 10 port and above.
