4.1.3 Status messages
In order to have an efficient control by an external control device, it must also be
possible to query status conditions; they provide information on the status of the KF
Coulometer. The trigger $D initiates output of the status. Status messages consist of
the global status, the detailed status and eventual error messages, e.g.
$S.Mode.KFC.Inac;E26. The global status informs on the activity of the process,
while the detailed status conditions show the exact activity within the process.
The status messages are identical for all modes.
The following global status conditions are possible:
$G
Go: The KF Coulometer is executing the last command.
$R
Ready: The KF Coulometer has executed the last command and is ready
$S
Stop: A process has been aborted in an "unnatural manner". e.g. stopped or aborted
because there was an error.
Detailed status conditions
Status conditions of the global $G:
$G .Mode.KFC .Inac:
Instrument at the beginning or at the end of a titration.
.Req .Id1:
Instrument in the KFC mode, requesting Id1 after start.
.Id2:
Instrument in the KFC mode, requesting Id2 after start.
.Id3:
Instrument in the KFC mode, requesting Id3 after start.
.Smpl:
Instrument in the KFC mode, requesting sample size after start.
.Unit:
Instrument in the KFC mode, requesting unit of sample size after start.
.Start:
Instrument in the KFC mode, waiting the pause.
.ExtrTime:
Instrument in the KFC mode, working off the extraction time.
.Titr:
Instrument in the KFC mode, titrating.
$G .Mode.KFC .Cond.Ok:
Instrument in the KFC, conditioning, endpoint reached (after the first start from
the standby mode).
.Cond.Prog:
Instrument in the KFC mode, conditioning, endpoint not reached (Conditioning
progressing).
$G .Mode.KFC .ChangeReagent:
Changing reagent.
$G .Assembly.Bur .Fill:
Buret in filling process
.ModeDis:
Buret in DIS mode
$G .Prep.Active:
Preparing buret.
.Empty.Active:
Emptying buret.
Status conditions of the global $R:
$R .Mode.KFC .Inac:
Instrument in the KFC mode, inactive.
.Cond.Ok:
Instrument in the KFC mode, conditioning, endpoint reached.
.Cond.Prog:
Instrument in the KFC mode, conditioning, endpoint not reached.
$R .Assembly.Bur.ModeDis:
Buret in the DIS mode, inactive.
Status conditions of the global $S:
The instrument gives the status from which it has been stopped. The detailed status
information is therefore identical to for the global status $G.
Violation of monitored limits with action "end" give the status message
$S.Mode.XXX.Inac;EYYY.
