5–58 Configuring PanelView Terminals
Publication 2711E-6.17 – November 1998
There are two types of faults that can occur during normal
operation—major and minor faults. As well, you could encounter
mistakes or system errors, and three types of operational messages
that indicate a problem or provide status information. See Chapter 8,
Troubleshooting PanelView Terminals, for a list of major and minor
fault messages and mistake messages.
Major Faults
If the terminal detects a major fault, it enters Major Fault mode and
displays a message in the Major Fault window. The terminal cannot
control or monitor PLC functions while in Major Fault mode.
A Major Fault prevents further terminal operation in Run mode. The
terminal stops executing the application, the current application
screen is frozen, printing stops, the alarm relay and beeper are
disabled, and any application file transfers stop.
To clear a major fault:
" Switch to Configure mode or cycle power. A Major Fault in
Configure mode can be cleared if it does not impede
configuration operations once the message is acknowledged.
Important: If the Software Mode Switch is set to Enable, the Goto
Configure Mode button is displayed on the Major Fault
window without access restrictions, as shown below.
This may pose a security issue, because all operators
will be able to switch between Run and Configure
modes.
If the Software Mode Switch is disabled, the Goto Configure Mode
button will not be displayed on the Major Fault window, as shown
below.
