4.2.4.5.4 Fault message and alarm texts

Fault message texts
It is possible to display up to two fault messages on the display of the push button sensor. What
is possible to display is, for example, general information from the house management (facility
management) or text messages from alarm centres. To activate the fault message display, set
the "Fault message texts via bus" parameter in the"Display" parameter node to "activated".
The two communication objects "Fault message text 1" and "Fault message text 2" are available
for displaying the fault messages. If the push button sensor receives a telegram via one of these
objects, the ASCII text contained in the telegram is shown on the display directly. Based on the
data point type, the fault message texts can be up to 14 characters long.
i Because the individual letters of the texts being shown have different lengths in the display
character set, the push button sensor may abbreviate received texts to match the number
of characters that can be depicted.
Fault messages are depicted on a special display page. If at least one fault message is present,
the push button sensor displays the static text "Fault message !" at the upper edge of the
screen.. The display area below that then shows the fault messages that have been received.
The display is in two lines if both fault message objects have received a telegram (Figure 60). In
this case, fault message text 1 is displayed at the top, and fault message text 2 at the bottom. If
only one of the fault message objects has received a telegram, then the fault message text is
displayed in one line in the centre (Figure 61).

The fault message remains visible in the display until the display length configured in the ETS
(1...255 minutes) has elapsed. Each telegram to one of the two fault message objects re-
initiates the display length. Fault message texts visible on the display can be overwritten at any
time with new text telegrams.
The display page of the fault message overwrites all other display functions of the normal
display for the configured display length. Fault message texts can be confirmed and thus hidden
ahead of time by pressing any button on the device. No button help text is shown in this case.
The display text of a fault message can be overwritten by alarm texts. The fault message texts
become visible again, however, after the alarm texts are acknowledged. In this case the push
button sensor restarts the display length.
Alarm texts
It is possible to display up to two alarm messages on the display of the push button sensor. This
can be used to implement, for example, the display of a burglar alarm or other message texts
