Section 18 Fault tracing and repair
About this chapter
This chapter describes how to carry out fault tracing and if necessary, a change of
circuit board.
18.1 Fault tracing
18.1.1 Information on the local HMI
If an internal fault has occurred, the local HMI displays information under Main
menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General
Under the Diagnostics menus, indications of a possible internal failure (serious
fault) or internal warning (minor problem) are listed.
Indications regarding the faulty unit are outlined in table
31.
