The following worked for me based on AB documentation of the status word.  
I created expression tags looking at the status word.

Key Switch position.

```auto
// Bits 12-13 represent key switch position.
// Mask and shift right to positions 0-1.
// Value - Description
// 0 - Undefined
// 1 - Run
// 2 - Program
// 3 - Remote
({[.]Status} & 12288)>>12

```

Processor Mode

```auto
// Bits 4-7 represent processor mode.
// Mask and shift right to positions 0-1.
// Value - Description
// 0 - Reserved
// 1 - Flash update in progress
// 2 - Reserved
// 3 - Reserved
// 4 - Flash is bad
// 5 - Faulted modes
// 6 - Run
// 7 - Program
({[.]Status} & 240)>>4

```
