Motion Error Codes, faults, and attributes

Understanding Minor/Major Faults 
Several faults can occur that are not caused by motion instructions. For example, a 
loss of encoder feedback or an actual position exceeding an over-travel limit will 
cause faults. The motion faults are considered Type II faults with error codes from 
1 to 32. For more information about motion error codes, see Logix5550 Controller 
User Manual, publication 1756-6.5.12. 
Tip: 
You can configure a fault as either minor (non-major) or major by using the Axis 
Wizard-Group window. 
For more information about handling faults, see Logix5550 Controller User 
Manual, publication 1756-6.5.12. 
Motion attributes are parameters that the Logix Designer application uses to 
define the operational characteristics of a motion module or axis, how the module 
or axis interacts with the system, and how the conversion of motion commands 
into actual motion of a device is performed. 
Motion Attribute Folders 
The motion attributes are divided into three main folders which indicate how the 
attributes are used: 
•  Interface 
•  Status 
•  Configuration
