About Error Detectors
Error detectors monitor the difference between the command signal and the corresponding feedback signal.
If the error exceeds the user-defined limits, the controller can trigger a detector action.
Error signals
Error detection uses Absolute Error signals. These signal values are in engineering units and are all positive.
Outer Error—Sets the error signal’s outer limit. If the error exceeds user-defined limits, the controller can
trigger a detector action.
Inner Error—Sets the error signal’s inner limit. If the error exceeds user-defined limits, the controller can
trigger a detector action.
Actions
Standard detector actions include: Station Power Off, Interlock, Program Interlock, Program Stop, Program

Note:
Each defined control mode has an error detector, but only the error detector for the active control mode
of a channel is active.
