Fault Management Utility
The Fault Management Utility (FMU) provides a limited interface to
the controller’s fault-management software. Use FMU to:
n
Display the last-failure and memory-system-failure entries that the
fault-management software stores in the controller’s non-volatile
memory.
n
Translate many of the code values contained in event messages. For
example, entries may contain code values that indicate the cause of
the event, the software component that reported the event, the repair
action, and so on.
n
Control the display characteristics of significant events and failures
that the fault-management system displays on the maintenance
terminal. See “Controlling the Display of Significant Events and
Failures,” page 4–20, for specific details on this feature.
Displaying Failure Entries
The controller stores the 16 most recent last-failure reports as entries in
its non-volatile memory. The occurrence of any failure event will
terminate operation of the controller on which it occurred.
Note Memory system failures are reported via the last failure
mechanism but can be displayed separately.
Use the following steps to display the last-failure entries:
1. Connect a local terminal to the controller.
2. Start FMU with the following command:
RUN FMU
3. Show one or more of the entries with the following command:
SHOW
event_type entry# FULL
where:
n
event-type is LAST_FAILURE or
MEMORY_SYSTEM_FAILURE
n
entry# is ALL, MOST_RECENT, or 1 through 16
