What Are Error Messages

Error messages are displayed in the user interface when an electronic,
mechanical, or hydraulic (flow path) failure occurs which requires
attention before the analysis can be continued (for example, repair, or
exchange of consumables is necessary). In the event of such a failure, the
red status indicator at the front of the module is switched on, and an
entry is written into the module logbook.
If an error occurs outside a method run, other modules will not be
informed about this error. If it occurs within a method run, all connected
modules will get a notification, all LEDs get red and the run will be
stopped. Depending on the module type, this stop is implemented
differently. For example, for a pump the flow will be stopped for safety
reasons. For a detector, the lamp will stay on in order to avoid
equilibration time. Depending on the error type, the next run can only be
started, if the error has been resolved, for example liquid from a leak has
been dried. Errors for presumably single time events can be recovered by
switching on the system in the user interface.
Special handling is done in case of a leak. As a leak is a potential safety
issue and may have occurred at a different module from where it has been
observed, a leak always causes a shutdown of all modules, even outside a
method run.
In all cases, error propagation is done via the CAN bus or via an APG
remote cable (see documentation for the APG interface).
