Error handling

Errors occurring in the block are signaled via an integrated "ALARM_8P" block and displayed
at the digital outputs of the block. The error bits are available at the block as an output signal.
In the event of an error, the request signal "REC_REQ" must be reset to confirm that the error
information has been processed.
The following error messages can be generated:
QMON_ERR
6.1.6

Messaging

The "FB_XXXPA" block uses the "ALARM_8P" block to generate messages. Following CPU
startup, messages are suppressed (QMSG_SUP = 1) until the "RUNUPCYC" cycles have
elapsed.
The version error will additionally be linked to message structure (SIG_5). The message can
either be passed through the message structure ALARM_ST to the message block FB_AL_XX
or FB_JOB will report the error.
