Reset AxisLink Fault

363

The Reset AxisLink Fault block sets the AxisLink_timeout,
AxisLink_failed, and AxisLink_general_fault variables to zero. The
Reset AxisLink Fault block only removes the fault status, it does not
perform any other recovery such as re-enabling the virtual axis.

You should handle AxisLink faults as part of a global fault handling task
or routine in the diagram. When an AxisLink fault occurs, the source of
the problem must be corrected before clearing the fault with a Clear
AxisLink Fault block and re-enabling the virtual axis, otherwise the fault
re-occurs. An AxisLink fault in one motion controller can also cause
AxisLink faults in other motion controllers in the chain, therefore, the
fault recovery routine must consider the application programs running in
other motion controllers. See Handling Faults in the Using AxisLink
chapter of this manual for more information on handling AxisLink faults.
