What does the RSIFirmwareStatusHOST bit mean in the RSIAxisAddressTypeSTATUS word? bit 23

Is this definition documented somewhere? I can’t find it

The HOST bit is an action-source indicator. It answers the question:

“Was the current stop/error state caused by the host application (user) or by the controller firmware itself?”

  • Bit SET → ActionSource = USER - the host application caused the stop/estop/abort.

  • Bit CLEAR → ActionSource = CONTROLLER - the firmware (a limit, amp fault, etc.) caused it.

Updated documentation will be posted soon.
