Appendix B. Error Messages
Most error messages are associated with errors in parsing an incoming message from the VHLC panel. The most
likely cause is a mismatch in expected message format. The driver will flag one of the following error messages
and continue. In most cases the message currently being processed by the driver will also be printed so that any
problems can be easily diagnosed.
The following Error Messages appear upon the ‘Driver Messages’ Screen
%d means numeric number
%s means string
Messages number 2, 3 and 11 will be displayed just once if generated after rebooting or power cycling the
FieldServer.

GENISYS:#1 FYI.
Connection params are
%d %d %d Even
If a connection is declared in
section 4.2 without Baud,
Data_Bits, Stop_Bits or Parity, the

in use.
Check if connection parameter matches the
setting at VHLC.
GENISYS:#2 FYI. MD
required to store data
from Node(%d)
A Map Descriptor with function
COS_Poller has been declared for
a Node but the COS_Read Map
Descriptor required to store the
data is missing.
Edit configuration file and add Map Descriptor
with COS_Read function.
GENISYS:#3 FYI. MD(%s)
length required=%d, now
Only %d statuses will be
stored
The COS_Read Map Descriptor is
of insufficient length to store all
indication words from VHLC.
If all indication words need to be stored, edit
the configuration file and change the length of
the Map Descriptor to the reported value.
GENISYS:#4 ERR %dth
word number %d is
invalid
The indication data response from
VHLC contains an invalid word
number.
Valid range is 0-31
No data will be stored.
Call tech support.
GENISYS:#5 FYI.
Indications can not be
written
The FieldServer received an
instruction from a Server device to
write indications to VHLC.
FieldServer can only write controls
to VHLC.
Inspect the configuration file to determine
whether the Data Array under the COS_Poller
or COS_Read Map Descriptor is mapped to
receive write commands from other protocols.
Also check that other devices are not
configured to write data to these Data Arrays.
GENISYS:#11FYI. MD(%s)
