BIT 232 022800
C-5
FIGURE C-7. STA — STATUS COMMAND
Syntax: STA
Function: Causes power supply to return operating status to controller.
Description: This operator commands the power supply to report its present operating status. Status is reported in
the form of a message (character string) as defined below. Any catastrophic error conditions (indicated
by * in the table below) which exist will be reported, until the error condition is corrected. As required
by CIIL, all error messages begin with an ASCII “F” (Fault) followed by a 2 digit code, “07” (Halt). The
code that follows (DCSnn) indicates the type of device and the channel number. The next 3 digit code
describes the nature of the fault: “DEV” for device related errors or “MOD” for non-device errors, such
as syntax.
TABLE C-2. CIIL ERROR MESSAGES
ERROR MESSAGE EXPLANATION
F07 DCSnn DEV Power Loss The power supply has lost its input power. *
F07 DCSnn DEV Device Turned Off (BOP) A shutdown occurred due to overvoltage or overcurrent. *
F07 DCSnn DEV Over Temperature A shutdown occurred due to thermal causes. *
F07 DCSnn DEV Overload The voltage or current limit point was exceeded. *
F07 DCSnn DEV Voltage Fault The output voltage is not within limits (voltage mode). *
F07 DCSnn DEV Current Fault The output current is not within limits (current mode). *
F07 DCSnn DEV Load Path Fault Open or miswired load or error sense leads detected. *
F07 DCSnn MOD Invalid Command Improper syntax was used. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Not Ready The output voltage or current has not settled. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Device Not Present The specified power supply was not present during power up or
during the last DCL. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Device Not Responding The power supply has failed to communicate to the controller. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Invalid Voltage Range The programmed voltage is outside the power supply's range. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Invalid Current Range The programmed current is outside the power supply's range. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Set Modifier Error An improper SET command was sent. **
F07 DCSnn DEV Invalid Device ID The selected channel was not between 1-31. **
* Catastrophic error
** Non-Catastrophic error
