Error Handling - Leuze electronic BCL 8 Series Original Operating Instructions

8.2

Error handling

Error, warning and status messages of the BCL 8 are transmitted via the RS 232 interface.
Types of errors
Errors are divided up into the following types:
• Warnings
• Serious errors
Warnings
Warnings indicate temporary operating faults which do not affect the proper functioning of
the device.
Serious errors
Serious errors impair the proper functioning of the device. The device must be reinitialized.
Troubleshooting
Isolated warnings can be ignored, since the BCL 8 will continue to function properly.
Following a serious error, you should reinitialize the BCL 8. It will then usually again function
properly. If a hardware problem is present, the BCL 8 will not reinitialize.
Warnings and errors which occur frequently can be corrected easiest using the BCLConfig
software.
If you cannot correct faults and errors with the software, please contact a Leuze electronic
sales office or service facility. For addresses, please refer to the back page of this operating
manual.
NOTE
Please also observe the notices for diagnostics and troubleshooting in Chapter 12.3.
