The mask register is used to set up the conditions that generate a fault which is latched into the fault register. The user can then read [...]

Remote Operation 76 The first four bits (0 to 3) in the register tell whether or not a particular output has a fault. If there is a fault in one of the outputs, then the corresponding FAU bit will be set. Thus if output 1 has a fault, then FAU 1 will be set. In models with only three outputs, FAU 4 will always be zero and in two output models, FAU [...]
