Identifying Controller
Faults

While a program is executing, a fault may occur within the operating
system or your program. When a fault occurs, you have various options to
determine what the fault is and how to correct it. This section describes
how to clear faults and provides a list of possible advisory messages with
recommended corrective actions.

Automatically Clearing Faults

You can automatically clear a fault by cycling power to the controller
when the Fault Override at Power-Up bit (S:1/8) is set in the status file.

You can also configure the controller to clear faults and go to RUN every
time the controller is power cycled. This is a feature that OEMs can build
into their equipment to allow end users to reset the controller. If the
controller faults, it can be reset by simply cycling power to the machine.
To accomplish this, set the following bits in the status file:

S2:1/8 - Fault Override at Power-up

S2:1/12 - Mode Behavior

If the fault condition still exists after cycling power, the controller
re-enters the fault mode. For more information on status bits, see System
Status File on page C-1.

NOTE

You can declare your own application-specific major fault
by writing your own unique value to S:6 and then setting
bit S:1/13 to prevent reusing system defined codes. The
recommended values for user-defined faults are FF00 to
FF0F.
