FAULT OUTPUT DRIVERS

The 1244 controller provides two fault output drivers designed for use with a
display to provide fault information to the operator. The fault output drivers,
Fault 1 (Pin 5) and Fault 2 (Pin 6), are open collector drivers rated at 10 mA
maximum current at the nominal battery voltage. They are intended to drive
display LEDs but can be used to drive anything that operates within the drivers'
limits. These outputs can be configured to display faults in Fault Code format
or Fault Category format—see Section 3, page 42.
In Fault Code format, the two fault outputs operate independently. The
Fault 1 line flashes the same codes, at the same time, as the controller's built-
in Status LED (see Table 6). This line can therefore be used to drive an LED
located on the display panel in order to provide fault code information directly
to the operator. The Fault 2 line pulls to ground (B-) when a fault is present;
it can be used to drive a remote LED that simply indicates whether or not
there is a fault. When no faults are present, both of the fault lines are in their
normal state (high).
In Fault Category format, the two fault outputs together define one
of four fault categories, as listed in Table 7. When a fault occurs, the Fault 1
and Fault 2 lines (Pins 5 and 6) go to the state indicating the category of the
particular fault: /
