Message Instructions
Fault (FAULT)
The Fault instruction is used to display a message on the
handheld programmer or DirectSOFT. The message has a
maximum of 23 characters and can be either V-memory data,
numerical constant data, or ASCII text. See Appendix G for the
ASCII Conversion Table.
To display the value in a V-memory location, specify the
V-memory location in the instruction. To display the data
in ACON (ASCII constant) or NCON (Numerical constant)
instructions, specify the constant (K) value for the corresponding
data label area.
NOTE: The FAULT instruction takes a considerable amount of time to execute. This is because the FAULT
parameters are stored in EEPROM. Make sure you consider the instruction execution times (shown in
Appendix C) if you are attempting to use the FAULT instructions in applications that require faster than
normal execution cycles.
