Diagnostic messages on the display (TC Drive Manager)
In relation to the global diagnostics, several messages are displayed in direct succession in many cases and only the first remains visible on the display. In the event of a malfunction it is important to judge the entire diagnostic environment, i.e. to see all diagnostic messages. For this purpose the so-called history file was created, in which all AX5000 diagnostic messages are accumulated.

The display of the AX5000 consists of 2 lines, which represent the information as standard (1). If a diagnostic case arises that concerns both channels, then the diagnostic code (Hex.) and a short version of the message (2+3) are shown in alternation on the display. If the diagnostic case concerns only one channel, then this procedure is displayed only in the upper line; the standard text remains in the lower line. In both cases the display additionally flashes (2-5). |
Diagnostic messages in the TwinCAT Drive Manager (TCDM)
The diagnostic messages are displayed in two different ways in the TCDM (1). The status bar contains the Error ID (2) with the tool tip (3). The Error ID contains the last diagnostic message for each channel; the tool tip contains the last current diagnostic messages; this is very helpful if the diagnostic encompasses several messages. Furthermore there is a diagnostic (4) for each channel. The current diagnostic message with error code (5) and error message (6) is listed here. The error code is located in the IDN P-0-0300; the associated error message is read from an XML file. The reset command “S-0-0099” is initiated by the “Reset” button (7).
Furthermore there is an error history (8) for each channel. The last error messages (no warnings and no information) are listed here with time stamp (9), error code (10) and error text (11). The time stamp is deposited in the IDN P-0-0301 and the error code in the IDN P-0-0300; the associated error text is read from an XML file. If you click on the “?”, a new window (13) opens that contains a detailed error description similar to this manual.
