Locating Errors
In the status file, 2 words per loop provide error codes for their
corresponding loop. The first word for each loop indicates
configuration-block and gains-block errors for that loop.
Display of integer value in word 3,
6
, 9 , 12 , 15 , 18 , 21, or 24 of the
status block
A nonzero value in
these two digits
indicate an error in the
gains block
A nonzero value in
these two digits
indicate an error in the
configuration block
Example: If a value 4713 is diplayed, the 47 in the upper
pair of digits would indicate an error in the gains block and
the 13 in the leastsignificant pair of digits would indicate an
error in the configuration block
If This Word of
Status Block:
Contains This
Value:
The Error is:
3 (loop 1)
6 (loop 2)
xx00 No error detected in configuration block.
6 (loop 2)
9 (loop 3)
12 (loop 4)
15 (loop 5)
18 (loop 6)
21 (loop 7)
24 (loop 8)
xx01
thru
xx23
A word in the configuration block has an outofrange
value or incompatible bit selection. Locate the specific
word by the value in the 2 leastsignificant decimal
digits of the status word. (value = word)
• Example: If the value in word 6 is xx14, word 14
(cool maximum cycle time) of the loop2
configuration block has an outofrange value,
00xx No error detected in gains block.
1xx
thru
57xx
A word in the gains block has an outofrange value.
Locate the specific word by the value in the 3rd and 4th
leastsignificant decimal digits of the status word.
(value = word)
• Example: If the value in word 9 is 14xx, word 14
(loop2 cool derivative gain) of the gains block has
an outofrange value,
