drop-down menu.
Status Word V The
status word is a memory location in V

which is updated each time a job completes. This allows you to check
the status of each job you configure. If you specify a value of zero in this

configurator automatically calculates them as a bit, byte, or word,
based on the memory type selection). When you click on the Local
Address field, a button appears. Click on the button, and the dialog box
shown in Figure 5-21 appears. Fill in the fields in the dialog box to
complete the local address. Then select
OK. (Y
