Diagnostics
7.1
Introduction
With certain operator input and if an error occurs in the evaluation mode, the
VS 130 provides you with adequate diagnostic information. This can take the
following form:
•
Message on the display of the processing unit
•
Activation of the "BF" LED
•
Slave diagnostics
These possibilities are explained in detail below.
7.2
Diagnostics with Messages
A distinction is made between the following message types:
•
Error messages
•
Warnings/notes
•
Read results
All three types of message are displayed on the display of the processing unit.
Most messages of the error message type also trigger a diagnostic interrupt on the
DP master via PROFIBUS (details below).
Sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.3 describe all the messages, their meaning and possible
remedies.
