Table 28 - Faults and Alarms Dialog Box Descriptions
Parameter Description
Indicator Displays the following icons to indicate the state of a fault or alarm:
• Alarm On
• Alarm Off
• Fault Occurred
• Reset Occurred
Date/Time Displays the date and time the event occurred. The time stamp is the workstation setting.
Source Displays the source of the event, for example:
• Safety Fault
• Module Fault
• Group Fault
• Axis Fault
• Axis Alarm
Condition Displays detailed information specific to the event category and code.
For drive exception conditions, the information is the same text used for the condition. This
field can contain more information when the Subcode field has been used for that entry
and is a more detailed entry if both codes are used in the log, for example:
• Group Sync Failure
• Bus Overvoltage UL
• All Axis Faults
• Motor Overspeed
• Axis Init Fault
Action Displays the action command that was executed in response to the event as configured in
the axis. For instance, in many cases this indicates that a command sent to a drive, for
example:
• Planned Stop
• Ramped Stop
• Limited Stop
• Coast
• No Action
• Alarm Off
• Alarm On
End State Displays the action result that is returned from the axis, which can be more detailed than
the command sent. For instance, a send of Disable Drive can result in either Holding,
Shutdown or other status, for example:
• Stopped - Hold
• Stopped - Disable
• Shutdown
• Shutdown Reset
Faults Toggles between faults; display or hide.
Alarms Toggles between alarms; display or hide.
Clear Log Clears both the fault and alarm logs in the controller for this axis.
