Viewing And Clearing Events - Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 20-COMM-P User Manual

Viewing and Clearing
Events
The adapter has an event queue to record significant events that occur in the
operation of the adapter. When such an event occurs, an entry is put into the
event queue. You can view the event queue with any of these drive
configuration tools:
• LCD PowerFlex 7-Class HIM
• Connected Components Workbench software, version 1.02 or later
• DriveExplorer software, version 2.01 or later
• DriveExecutive software, version 1.01 or later
The event queue can contain up to 32 entries. Eventually the event queue
becomes full, because its contents are retained through adapter resets. At
that point, a new entry replaces the oldest entry. Only an event queue clear
operation or adapter power cycle clears the event queue contents.
Resetting the adapter to defaults has no effect on the event queue.
