Fault Actions And Fault Action Configuration - GE PACSystems RXi User Manual

14.1.3 Fault Actions and Fault Action Configuration

Fatal faults cause the fault to be recorded in the appropriate table, diagnostic variables to be
set, and the system to be stopped. Only fatal faults cause the system to stop.
Diagnostic faults are recorded in the appropriate table, and any diagnostic variables are set.
Informational faults are only recorded in the appropriate table.
The hardware configuration can be used to specify the fault action of some fault groups. For
these groups, the fault action can be configured as either fatal or diagnostic. When a fatal or
diagnostic fault within a configurable group occurs, the CPU executes the configured fault
action instead of the action specified within the fault.
Note:
Faults that are part of configurable fault groups:
Fault Action Displayed
in Fault Table
Fault Action Executed
Faults that are part of non-configurable fault groups:

Informational
The fault action displayed in the expanded fault details indicates the fault action
specified by the fault that was logged, but not necessarily the executed fault action.
To determine what action was executed for a particular fault in a configurable fault
group, you must refer to the hardware configuration settings.
